Psalm 92-100

English Standard Version

⁵ How ^(L)great are your works, O Lord!
    Your ^(M)thoughts are very ^(N)deep!
⁶ The stupid man cannot know;
    the fool cannot understand this:
⁷ that though ^(O)the wicked sprout like grass
    and all ^(P)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction forever;
⁸     but you, O Lord, are ^(Q)on high forever.
⁹ For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
    for behold, your enemies shall perish;
    all evildoers shall be ^(R)scattered.

¹⁰ But you have exalted my ^(S)horn like that of ^(T)the wild ox;
    you have ^(U)poured over me^[a] fresh oil.
¹¹ My ^(V)eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
    my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.

^12 (W)The righteous flourish like the palm tree
    and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
    they flourish in ^(X)the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age;
    they are ever full of sap and green,
^15 (Y)to declare that the Lord is upright;
    he is my ^(Z)rock, and there is ^(AA)no unrighteousness in him.

^3 (AJ)The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
⁴ Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
    mightier than the waves of the sea,
    ^(AK)the Lord ^(AL)on high is mighty!

⁵ Your ^(AM)decrees are very trustworthy;
    ^(AN)holiness befits your house,
    O Lord, forevermore.

^8 (BB)Understand, O dullest of the people!
    Fools, when will you be wise?
^9 (BC)He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
¹⁰ He who ^(BD)disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who ^(BE)teaches man knowledge—
^{11     (BF)}the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
    that they are ^(BG)but a breath.^[b]

^12 (BH)Blessed is the man whom you ^(BI)discipline, O Lord,
    and whom you teach out of your law,
¹³ to give him ^(BJ)rest from ^(BK)days of trouble,
    until ^(BL)a pit is dug for the wicked.
^14 (BM)For the Lord will not forsake his ^(BN)people;
    he will not abandon his ^(BO)heritage;
¹⁵ for ^(BP)justice will return to the righteous,
    and all the upright in heart will ^(BQ)follow it.

^16 (BR)Who rises up for me against the wicked?
    Who stands up for me against evildoers?
^17 (BS)If the Lord had not been my help,
    my soul would soon have lived in the land of ^(BT)silence.
¹⁸ When I thought, ^(BU)“My foot slips,”
    your steadfast love, O Lord, ^(BV)held me up.
¹⁹ When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul.
²⁰ Can ^(BW)wicked rulers be allied with you,
    those who frame^[c] injustice by ^(BX)statute?
²¹ They ^(BY)band together against the life of the righteous
    and condemn ^(BZ)the innocent to death.^[d]
22 But the Lord has become my ^(CA)stronghold,
    and my God ^(CB)the rock of my ^(CC)refuge.
²³ He will bring back on them ^(CD)their iniquity
    and ^(CE)wipe them out for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will wipe them out.

⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us ^(CN)kneel before the Lord, our ^(CO)Maker!
⁷ For he is our ^(CP)God,
    and we are the people of his ^(CQ)pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
^(CR)Today, if you ^(CS)hear his voice,
^{8     (CT)}do not harden your hearts, as at ^(CU)Meribah,
    as on the day at ^(CV)Massah in the wilderness,
⁹ when your fathers put me to the ^(CW)test
    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my ^(CX)work.
^10 (CY)For forty years I loathed that generation
    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
    and they have not known ^(CZ)my ways.”
¹¹ Therefore I ^(DA)swore in my wrath,
    “They shall not enter ^(DB)my rest.”

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, O ^(DK)families of the peoples,
    ^(DL)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord ^(DM)the glory due his name;
    bring ^(DN)an offering, and ^(DO)come into his courts!
⁹ Worship the Lord in ^(DP)the splendor of holiness;^{[e]
    (DQ)}tremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰ Say among the nations, ^(DR)“The Lord reigns!
    Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
    he will ^(DS)judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹ Let ^(DT)the heavens be glad, and let ^(DU)the earth rejoice;
    let ^(DV)the sea roar, and all that fills it;
¹²     let ^(DW)the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all ^(DX)the trees of the forest sing for joy
¹³     before the Lord, for he comes,
    for he comes ^(DY)to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.

^6 (EK)The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all ^(EL)the peoples see his glory.
⁷ All worshipers of images are ^(EM)put to shame,
    who make their boast in ^(EN)worthless idols;
    ^(EO)worship him, all you gods!

⁸ Zion hears and ^(EP)is glad,
    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
    because of your judgments, O Lord.
⁹ For you, O Lord, are ^(EQ)most high over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above ^(ER)all gods.

¹⁰ O you who love the Lord, ^(ES)hate evil!
    He ^(ET)preserves the lives of his ^(EU)saints;
    he ^(EV)delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
^11 (EW)Light ^(EX)is sown^[f] for the righteous,
    and joy for the upright in heart.
^12 (EY)Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
    and ^(EZ)give thanks to his holy name!

^4 (FK)Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    ^(FL)break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
⁵ Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the ^(FM)sound of melody!
⁶ With ^(FN)trumpets and the sound of ^(FO)the horn
    ^(FP)make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

^7 (FQ)Let the sea roar, and ^(FR)all that fills it;
    ^(FS)the world and those who dwell in it!
⁸ Let the rivers ^(FT)clap their hands;
    let ^(FU)the hills sing for joy together
⁹ before the Lord, for he comes
    to ^(FV)judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
    and the peoples with equity.

^6 (GK)Moses and Aaron were among his ^(GL)priests,
    Samuel also was among those who ^(GM)called upon his name.
    They ^(GN)called to the Lord, and he answered them.
⁷ In ^(GO)the pillar of the cloud he spoke to them;
    they ^(GP)kept his testimonies
    and the statute that he gave them.

⁸ O Lord our God, you answered them;
    you were ^(GQ)a forgiving God to them,
    but ^(GR)an avenger of their wrongdoings.
⁹ Exalt the Lord our God,
    and worship at his ^(GS)holy mountain;
    for the Lord our God is holy!

³ Know that ^(GX)the Lord, he is God!
    It is he who ^(GY)made us, and ^(GZ)we are his;^[h]
    we are his ^(HA)people, and ^(HB)the sheep of his pasture.

^4 (HC)Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his ^(HD)courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; ^(HE)bless his name!

^5 (HF)For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his ^(HG)faithfulness to all generations.
