Psalms 94

1 Lord, you are a God who punishes; reveal your anger!

2 You are the judge of us all; rise and give the proud what they deserve!

3 How much longer will the wicked be glad? How much longer, Lord?

4 How much longer will criminals be proud and boast about their crimes?

5 They crush your people, Lord; they oppress those who belong to you.

6 They kill widows and orphans, and murder the strangers who live in our land.

7 They say, "The Lord does not see us; the God of Israel does not notice."

8 My people, how can you be such stupid fools? When will you ever learn?

9 God made our ears - can't he hear? He made our eyes - can't he see?

10 He scolds the nations - won't he punish them? He is the teacher of us all - hasn't he any knowledge?

11 The Lord knows what we think; he knows how senseless our reasoning is.

12 Lord, how happy are those you instruct, the ones to whom you teach your law!

13 You give them rest from days of trouble until a pit is dug to trap the wicked.

14 The Lord will not abandon his people; he will not desert those who belong to him.

15 Justice will again be found in the courts, and all righteous people will support it.

16 Who stood up for me against the wicked? Who took my side against the evildoers?

17 If the Lord had not helped me, I would have gone quickly to the land of silence.

18 I said, "I am falling"; but your constant love, O Lord, held me up.

19 Whenever I am anxious and worried, you comfort me and make me glad.

20 You have nothing to do with corrupt judges, who make injustice legal,

21 who plot against good people and sentence the innocent to death.

22 But the Lord defends me; my God protects me.

23 He will punish them for their wickedness and destroy them for their sins; the Lord our God will destroy them.

Psalms 95

1 Come, let us praise the Lord! Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us!

2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and sing joyful songs of praise.

3 For the Lord is a mighty God, a mighty king over all the gods.

4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest caves to the highest hills.

5 He rules over the sea, which he made; the land also, which he himself formed.

6 Come, let us bow down and worship him; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

7 He is our God; we are the people he cares for, the flock for which he provides. Listen today to what he says:

8 "Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah, as they were that day in the desert at Massah.

9 There they put me to the test and tried me, although they had seen what I did for them.

10 For forty years I was disgusted with those people. I said, "How disloyal they are! They refuse to obey my commands.'

11 I was angry and made a solemn promise: "You will never enter the land where I would have given you rest.' "

Psalms 96

1 Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the world!

2 Sing to the Lord, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.

3 Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples.

4 The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; he is to be honored more than all the gods.

5 The gods of all other nations are only idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

6 Glory and majesty surround him; power and beauty fill his Temple.

7 Praise the Lord, all people on earth; praise his glory and might.

8 Praise the Lord's glorious name; bring an offering and come into his Temple.

9 Bow down before the Holy One when he appears; tremble before him, all the earth!

10 Say to all the nations, "The Lord is king! The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with justice."

11 Be glad, earth and sky! Roar, sea, and every creature in you;

12 be glad, fields, and everything in you! The trees in the woods will shout for joy

13 when the Lord comes to rule the earth. He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.
