Psalm 92-97

New International Version

⁴ For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord;
    I sing for joy^(G) at what your hands have done.^(H)
5 How great are your works,^(I) Lord,
    how profound your thoughts!^(J)
6 Senseless people^(K) do not know,
    fools do not understand,
⁷ that though the wicked spring up like grass
    and all evildoers flourish,
    they will be destroyed forever.^(L)

⁸ But you, Lord, are forever exalted.

⁹ For surely your enemies^(M), Lord,
    surely your enemies will perish;
    all evildoers will be scattered.^(N)
10 You have exalted my horn^[b](O) like that of a wild ox;^(P)
    fine oils^(Q) have been poured on me.
¹¹ My eyes have seen the defeat of my adversaries;
    my ears have heard the rout of my wicked foes.^(R)

¹² The righteous will flourish^(S) like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;^(T)
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.^(U)
14 They will still bear fruit^(V) in old age,
    they will stay fresh and green,
¹⁵ proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
    he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.^(W)”

³ The seas^(AE) have lifted up, Lord,
    the seas have lifted up their voice;^(AF)
    the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.^(AG)
4 Mightier than the thunder^(AH) of the great waters,
    mightier than the breakers^(AI) of the sea—
    the Lord on high is mighty.^(AJ)

⁵ Your statutes, Lord, stand firm;
    holiness^(AK) adorns your house^(AL)
    for endless days.

⁴ They pour out arrogant^(AS) words;
    all the evildoers are full of boasting.^(AT)
5 They crush your people,^(AU) Lord;
    they oppress your inheritance.^(AV)
6 They slay the widow^(AW) and the foreigner;
    they murder the fatherless.^(AX)
7 They say, “The Lord does not see;^(AY)
    the God of Jacob^(AZ) takes no notice.”

⁸ Take notice, you senseless ones^(BA) among the people;
    you fools, when will you become wise?
⁹ Does he who fashioned the ear not hear?
    Does he who formed the eye not see?^(BB)
10 Does he who disciplines^(BC) nations not punish?
    Does he who teaches^(BD) mankind lack knowledge?
¹¹ The Lord knows all human plans;^(BE)
    he knows that they are futile.^(BF)

¹² Blessed is the one you discipline,^(BG) Lord,
    the one you teach^(BH) from your law;
¹³ you grant them relief from days of trouble,^(BI)
    till a pit^(BJ) is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not reject his people;^(BK)
    he will never forsake his inheritance.
¹⁵ Judgment will again be founded on righteousness,^(BL)
    and all the upright in heart^(BM) will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up^(BN) for me against the wicked?
    Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?^(BO)
17 Unless the Lord had given me help,^(BP)
    I would soon have dwelt in the silence of death.^(BQ)
18 When I said, “My foot is slipping,^(BR)”
    your unfailing love, Lord, supported me.
¹⁹ When anxiety^(BS) was great within me,
    your consolation^(BT) brought me joy.

²⁰ Can a corrupt throne^(BU) be allied with you—
    a throne that brings on misery by its decrees?^(BV)
21 The wicked band together^(BW) against the righteous
    and condemn the innocent^(BX) to death.^(BY)
22 But the Lord has become my fortress,
    and my God the rock^(BZ) in whom I take refuge.^(CA)
23 He will repay^(CB) them for their sins
    and destroy^(CC) them for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will destroy them.

³ For the Lord is the great God,^(CK)
    the great King^(CL) above all gods.^(CM)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,^(CN)
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
⁵ The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.^(CO)

⁶ Come, let us bow down^(CP) in worship,^(CQ)
    let us kneel^(CR) before the Lord our Maker;^(CS)
7 for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,^(CT)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
⁸ “Do not harden your hearts^(CU) as you did at Meribah,^[c](CV)
    as you did that day at Massah^[d] in the wilderness,^(CW)
9 where your ancestors tested^(CX) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
¹⁰ For forty years^(CY) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,^(CZ)
    and they have not known my ways.’^(DA)
11 So I declared on oath^(DB) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”^(DC)

⁴ For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;^(DK)
    he is to be feared^(DL) above all gods.^(DM)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,^(DN)
    but the Lord made the heavens.^(DO)
6 Splendor and majesty^(DP) are before him;
    strength and glory^(DQ) are in his sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord,^(DR) all you families of nations,^(DS)
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
    bring an offering^(DT) and come into his courts.^(DU)
9 Worship the Lord^(DV) in the splendor of his^[e] holiness;^(DW)
    tremble^(DX) before him, all the earth.^(DY)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.^(DZ)”
    The world is firmly established,^(EA) it cannot be moved;^(EB)
    he will judge^(EC) the peoples with equity.^(ED)

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice,^(EE) let the earth be glad;^(EF)
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
¹² Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest^(EG) sing for joy.^(EH)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
    he comes to judge^(EI) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness^(EJ)
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.^(EK)

⁷ All who worship images^(FC) are put to shame,^(FD)
    those who boast in idols^(FE)—
    worship him,^(FF) all you gods!^(FG)

⁸ Zion hears and rejoices
    and the villages of Judah are glad^(FH)
    because of your judgments,^(FI) Lord.
⁹ For you, Lord, are the Most High^(FJ) over all the earth;^(FK)
    you are exalted^(FL) far above all gods.
¹⁰ Let those who love the Lord hate evil,^(FM)
    for he guards^(FN) the lives of his faithful ones^(FO)
    and delivers^(FP) them from the hand of the wicked.^(FQ)
11 Light shines^[f](FR) on the righteous^(FS)
    and joy on the upright in heart.^(FT)
12 Rejoice in the Lord,^(FU) you who are righteous,
    and praise his holy name.^(FV)
