Day 182 of 364

^93:1The LORD reigns! He is clothed with majesty! The LORD is armed with strength. The world also is established. It can’t be moved. ^93:2Your throne is established from long ago. You are from everlasting. ^93:3The floods have lifted up, LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice. The floods lift up their waves. ^93:4Above the voices of many waters, the mighty breakers of the sea, the LORD on high is mighty. ^93:5Your statutes stand firm. Holiness adorns your house, LORD, forever more. ^94:1LORD, you God to whom vengeance belongs, you God to whom vengeance belongs, shine out. ^94:2Rise up, you judge of the earth. Pay back the proud what they deserve. ^94:3LORD, how long will the wicked, how long will the wicked triumph? ^94:4They pour out arrogant words. All the evildoers boast. ^94:5They break your people in pieces, LORD, and afflict your heritage. ^94:6They kill the widow and the alien, and murder the fatherless. ^94:7They say, “The LORD will not see, neither will Jacob’s God consider.” ^94:8Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise? ^94:9He who implanted the ear, won’t he hear? He who formed the eye, won’t he see? ^94:10He who disciplines the nations, won’t he punish? He who teaches man knows. ^94:11The LORD knows the thoughts of man, that they are futile. ^94:12Blessed is the man whom you discipline, LORD, and teach out of your law, ^94:13that you may give him rest from the days of adversity, until the pit is dug for the wicked. ^94:14For the LORD won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. ^94:15For judgment will return to righteousness. All the upright in heart shall follow it. ^94:16Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand up for me against the evildoers? ^94:17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul would have soon lived in silence. ^94:18When I said, “My foot is slipping!” Your loving kindness, LORD, held me up. ^94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul. ^94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with you, which brings about mischief by statute? ^94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. ^94:22But the LORD has been my high tower, my God, the rock of my refuge. ^94:23He has brought on them their own iniquity, and will cut them off in their own wickedness. The LORD, our God, will cut them off. ^95:1Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! ^95:2Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs! ^95:3For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods. ^95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his. ^95:5The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land. ^95:6Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker, ^95:7for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice! ^95:8Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, ^95:9when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work. ^95:10Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.” ^95:11Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.” ^96:1Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth. ^96:2Sing to the LORD! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day! ^96:3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. ^96:4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods. ^96:5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. ^96:6Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. ^96:7Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength. ^96:8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts. ^96:9Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth. ^96:10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. ^96:11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness! ^96:12Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy ^96:13before the LORD; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth. ^97:1The LORD reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! ^97:2Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. ^97:3A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. ^97:4His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. ^97:5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. ^97:6The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. ^97:7Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! ^97:8Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced because of your judgments, LORD. ^97:9For you, LORD, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. ^97:10You who love the LORD, hate evil! He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. ^97:11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. ^97:12Be glad in the LORD, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name. ^98:1A Psalm. Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. ^98:2The LORD has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations. ^98:3He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. ^98:4Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises! ^98:5Sing praises to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody. ^98:6With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn, make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD. ^98:7Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. ^98:8Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together. ^98:9Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. ^99:1The LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits enthroned among the cherubim. Let the earth be moved. ^99:2The LORD is great in Zion. He is high above all the peoples. ^99:3Let them praise your great and awesome name. He is Holy! ^99:4The King’s strength also loves justice. You establish equity. You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob. ^99:5Exalt the LORD our God. Worship at his footstool. He is Holy! ^99:6Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel was among those who call on his name. They called on the LORD, and he answered them. ^99:7He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them. ^99:8You answered them, LORD our God. You are a God who forgave them, although you took vengeance for their doings. ^99:9Exalt the LORD, our God. Worship at his holy hill, for the LORD, our God, is holy!
