Psalm 95
A Call to Worship and Obedience
1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with apsalms.
3 For bthe Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
4 1In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
5 cThe sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let dus kneel before the Lord our Maker.
And ewe are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep 2of His hand.
fToday, if you will hear His voice:
8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the 3rebellion,
gAs in the day of 4trial in the wilderness,
9 When hyour fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they isaw My work.
10 For jforty years I was 5grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
11 So kI swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
Psalm 97–99
A Song of Praise to the Sovereign Lord
1 The Lord areigns;
Let the earth rejoice;
Let the multitude of 1isles be glad!
2 bClouds and darkness surround Him;
cRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
3 dA fire goes before Him,
And burns up His enemies round about.
4 eHis lightnings light the world;
The earth sees and trembles.
5 fThe mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord,
At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 gThe heavens declare His righteousness,
And all the peoples see His glory.
7 hLet all be put to shame who serve carved images,
Who boast of idols.
iWorship Him, all you gods.
And the daughters of Judah rejoice
Because of Your judgments, O Lord.
9 For You, Lord, are jmost high above all the earth;
kYou are exalted far above all gods.
10 You who love the Lord, lhate evil!
mHe preserves the souls of His saints;
nHe delivers them out of the hand of the wicked.
11 oLight is sown for the righteous,
And gladness for the upright in heart.
12 pRejoice in the Lord, you righteous,
qAnd give thanks 2at the remembrance of 3His holy name.
A Song of Praise to the Lord For His Salvation and Judgment
A Psalm.
1 Oh, asing to the Lord a new song!
For He has bdone marvelous things;
His right hand and His holy arm have gained Him the victory.
2 cThe Lord has made known His salvation;
dHis righteousness He has revealed in the sight of the 1nations.
3 He has remembered His mercy and His faithfulness to the house of Israel;
eAll the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Shout joyfully to the Lord, all the earth;
Break forth in song, rejoice, and sing praises.
5 Sing to the Lord with the harp,
With the harp and the sound of a psalm,
6 With trumpets and the sound of a horn;
Shout joyfully before the Lord, the King.
7 Let the sea roar, and all its fullness,
The world and those who dwell in it;
8 Let the rivers clap their hands;
Let the hills be joyful together before the Lord,
9 fFor He is coming to judge the earth.
With righteousness He shall judge the world,
And the peoples with 2equity.
Praise to the Lord For His Holiness
1 The Lord reigns;
Let the peoples tremble!
aHe dwells between the cherubim;
Let the earth be 1moved!
And He is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise Your great and awesome name—
2He is holy.
4 The King’s strength also loves justice;
You have established equity;
You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
And worship at His footstool—
He is holy.
6 Moses and Aaron were among His priests,
And Samuel was among those who bcalled upon His name;
They called upon the Lord, and He answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the cloudy pillar;
They kept His testimonies and the 3ordinance He gave them.
8 You answered them, O Lord our God;
You were to them God-Who-Forgives,
Though You took vengeance on their deeds.
And worship at His holy hill;
For the Lord our God is holy.
