Psalm 94–95

Psalm 94

Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

²Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

³For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

⁴For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

⁵For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

⁷For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

⁸To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

⁹As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

¹⁰Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.

¹¹And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Psalm 95

¹A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity.

Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

²Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

⁴For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

⁶Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

⁷Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

⁸Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

⁹Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.

¹⁰Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

¹²The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

¹³before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
