Psalm 94–96

Psalm 94

¹O Lord ^†God, ^ato whom vengeance belongeth;

^bO God, to whom vengeance belongeth, ^†shew thyself.

^2cLift up thyself, thou ^djudge of the earth:

Render a reward to the proud.

³Lord, ^cHow long shall the wicked,

^bHow long shall the wicked triumph?

⁴How long shall they ^eeutter and speak ^fhard things?

And all ^gthe workers of iniquity boast themselves?

⁵They ^hbreak in pieces thy people, O Lord,

And afflict thine heritage.

⁶They slay the widow and the stranger,

And murder the fatherless.

⁷ⁱYet they say, The ^kLord shall not see,

Neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.

^8lUnderstand, ye ^lbrutish ^mamong the people:

And ye ^lfools, when will ye be wise?

⁹ⁿHe that planted the ear, shall he not hear?

He that formed the eye, shall he not see?

¹⁰He that ^ochastiseth the heathen, shall not he correct?

^pHe that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know?

^11qThe Lord knoweth the thoughts of man,

That they are ^rvanity.

¹²Blessed is the man whom thou ^oschastenest, O ^kLord,

And ^pteachest him out of thy law;

¹³That thou mayest ^tgive him rest from ^uthe days of adversity,

Until ^vthe pit be digged for the wicked.

¹⁴For ^wthe Lord will not cast off his people,

Neither will he forsake his inheritance.

¹⁵But judgment shall return unto righteousness:

And all ^xthe upright in heart ^†shall follow it.

¹⁶Who will ^yrise up for me ^zagainst the evildoers?

Or who will ^ystand up for me ^zagainst ^gthe workers of iniquity?

^17aUnless the Lord had been my help,

My soul had ^||balmost dwelt in ^csilence.

¹⁸When I said, ^dMy foot slippeth;

Thy mercy, O Lord, ^eheld me up.

¹⁹In the multitude of my ^fthoughts within me

Thy comforts delight my soul.

²⁰Shall the throne of ^giniquity have fellowship with thee,

Which frameth mischief ^hby a law?

²¹They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,

And ⁱcondemn the innocent blood.

²²But the Lord is my ^jdefence;

And my God is ^kthe rock of my ^lrefuge.

²³And ^mhe shall bring upon them their own iniquity,

And shall ^nocut them off in their own wickedness;

Yea, the Lord our God ^oshall ⁿcut them off.

Psalm 95^*

¹O come, let us sing unto the Lord:

^aLet us make a joyful noise to ^bthe rock of our salvation.

²Let us ^†come before his presence with thanksgiving,

And ^amake a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

³For ^cthe Lord is a great God,

And a great King ^ccabove all gods.

^4†In his hand are the deep places of the earth:

^||The ^dstrength of the hills is his also.

^5†The sea is his, and ^ehe made it:

And his hands formed ^ethe dry land.

⁶O come, let us ^fworship and ^gbow down:

Let us ^hkneel before the Lord ⁱour maker.

⁷For he is our God;

And we are ^kthe people of his pasture, and ^lthe sheep of his hand.

^mTo day if ye will ⁿhear his voice,

^8oHarden not your heart, ^pas in the ^†provocation,

And as in the day of ^qtemptation in the wilderness:

⁹When your fathers ^nqtempted me,

Proved me, and saw ^rmy work.

^10sForty years long was I ^tgrieved with this generation,

And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,

And they have not known my ways:

¹¹Unto whom ^uI sware in my wrath

^†That they should not enter into my ^xrest.

Psalm 96^*

^1acO sing unto the Lord ^ba new song:

^cSing unto the Lord, all the earth.

²Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;

Shew forth his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the heathen,

His wonders among all people.

^4dFor the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:

He is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the nations are idols:

But the Lord made the heavens.

⁶Honour and majesty are before him:

^eStrength and ^ebeauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Give unto the Lord, O ye ^fkindreds of the people,

^cGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

^8cGive unto the Lord the glory ^†due unto his name:

Bring ^gan offering, and come into ^hhis courts.

⁹O worship the Lord ^||in the beauty of holiness:

^hhFear before him, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among the heathen that ⁱthe Lord reigneth:

ⁱThe world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

^jHe shall judge the people ^krighteously.

¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and ^llet the earth be glad;

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

^12mLet the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

Then shall all the trees of the wood ⁿrejoice

¹³Before the Lord: for he cometh,

For ^jhe cometh to judge the earth:

^cHe shall judge the world with righteousness,

And the people with his truth.
