Psalms 95-96
Chapter 95
Psalm 95
1 Come,(a) let us sing for joy(b) to the
Lord
;
let us shout aloud(c) to the Rock(d) of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him(e) with thanksgiving(f)
and extol him with music(g) and song.
3 For the
Lord
is the great God,(h)
the great King(i) above all gods.(j)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,(k)
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.(l)
6 Come, let us bow down(m) in worship,(n)
let us kneel(o) before the
Lord
our Maker;(p)
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,(q)
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 "Do not harden your hearts(r) as you did at Meribah,[a](s)
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(t)
9 where your ancestors tested(u) me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(v) I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(w)
and they have not known my ways.'(x)
11 So I declared on oath(y) in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.'"(z)
Chapter 96
Psalm 96(a)
1 Sing to the
Lord
(b) a new song;(c)
sing to the
Lord
, all the earth.
2 Sing to the
Lord
, praise his name;(d)
proclaim his salvation(e) day after day.
3 Declare his glory(f) among the nations,
his marvelous deeds(g) among all peoples.
4 For great is the
Lord
and most worthy of praise;(h)
he is to be feared(i) above all gods.(j)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,(k)
but the
Lord
made the heavens.(l)
6 Splendor and majesty(m) are before him;
strength and glory(n) are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the
Lord
,(o) all you families of nations,(p)
ascribe to the
Lord
glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the
Lord
the glory due his name;
bring an offering(q) and come into his courts.(r)
9 Worship the
Lord
(s) in the splendor of his[a] holiness;(t)
tremble(u) before him, all the earth.(v)
10 Say among the nations, "The
Lord
reigns.(w)"
The world is firmly established,(x) it cannot be moved;(y)
he will judge(z) the peoples with equity.(aa)
11 Let the heavens rejoice,(ab) let the earth be glad;(ac)
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest(ad) sing for joy.(ae)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the
Lord
, for he comes,
he comes to judge(af) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness(ag)
and the peoples in his faithfulness.(ah)
