Psalms 94
1
The Lord is a God who punishes. God, show your greatness and punish!
2
Rise up, Judge of the earth, and give the proud what they deserve.
3
How long will the wicked be happy? How long, Lord?
4
They are full of proud words; those who do evil brag about what they have done.
5
Lord, they crush your people and make your children suffer.
6
They kill widows and foreigners and murder orphans.
7
They say, "The Lord doesn't see; the God of Jacob doesn't notice."
8
You stupid ones among the people, pay attention. You fools, when will you understand?
9
Can't the creator of ears hear? Can't the maker of eyes see?
10
Won't the one who corrects nations punish you? Doesn't the teacher of people know everything?
11
The Lord knows what people think. He knows their thoughts are just a puff of wind.
12
Lord, those you correct are happy; you teach them from your law.
13
You give them rest from times of trouble until a pit is dug for the wicked.
14
The Lord won't leave his people nor give up his children.
15
Judgment will again be fair, and all who are honest will follow it.
16
Who will help me fight against the wicked? Who will stand with me against those who do evil?
17
If the Lord had not helped me, I would have died in a minute.
18
I said, "I am about to fall," but, Lord, your love kept me safe.
19
I was very worried, but you comforted me and made me happy.
20
Crooked leaders cannot be your friends. They use the law to cause suffering.
21
They join forces against people who do right and sentence to death the innocent.
22
But the Lord is my defender; my God is the rock of my protection.
23
God will pay them back for their sins and will destroy them for their evil. The Lord our God will destroy them.

Psalms 95
1
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord. Let's shout praises to the Rock who saves us.
2
Let's come to him with thanksgiving. Let's sing songs to him,
3
because the Lord is the great God, the great King over all gods.
4
The deepest places on earth are his, and the highest mountains belong to him.
5
The sea is his because he made it, and he created the land with his own hands.
6
Come, let's worship him and bow down. Let's kneel before the Lord who made us,
7
because he is our God and we are the people he takes care of and the sheep that he tends. Today listen to what he says:
8
"Do not be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah, as they were that day at Massah in the desert.
9
There your ancestors tested me and tried me even though they saw what I did.
10
I was angry with those people for forty years. I said, 'They are not loyal to me and have not understood my ways.'
11
I was angry and made a promise, 'They will never enter my rest.'"

Psalms 96
1
Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2
Sing to the Lord and praise his name; every day tell how he saves us.
3
Tell the nations of his glory; tell all peoples the miracles he does,
4
because the Lord is great; he should be praised at all times. He should be honored more than all the gods,
5
because all the gods of the nations are only idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6
The Lord has glory and majesty; he has power and beauty in his Temple.
7
Praise the Lord, all nations on earth; praise the Lord's glory and power.
8
Praise the glory of the Lord's name. Bring an offering and come into his Temple courtyards.
9
Worship the Lord because he is holy. Tremble before him, everyone on earth.
10
Tell the nations, "The Lord is king." The earth is set, and it cannot be moved. He will judge the people fairly.
11
Let the skies rejoice and the earth be glad; let the sea and everything in it shout.
12
Let the fields and everything in them rejoice. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13
before the Lord, because he is coming. He is coming to judge the world; he will judge the world with fairness and the peoples with truth.
