Psalms 95

1 Come, let's sing joyfully to the LORD. Let's shout happily to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let's come into his presence with a song of thanksgiving. Let's shout happily to him with psalms.
3 The LORD is a great God and a great king above all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth, and the mountain peaks are his.
5 The sea is his. He made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel in front of the LORD, our maker,
7 because he is our God and we are the people in his care, the flock that he leads. If only you would listen to him today!
8 "Do not be stubborn like [my people were] at Meribah, like the time at Massah in the desert.
9 Your ancestors challenged me and tested me there, although they had seen what I had done.
10 For 40 years I was disgusted with those people. So I said, 'They are a people whose hearts continue to stray. They have not learned my ways.'
11 That is why I angrily took this solemn oath: 'They will never enter my place of rest!'"

Psalms 97

1 The LORD rules as king. Let the earth rejoice. Let all the islands be joyful.
2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.
3 Fire spreads ahead of him. It burns his enemies who surround him.
4 His flashes of lightning light up the world. The earth sees them and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the LORD, in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
6 The heavens tell about his righteousness, and all the people of the world see his glory.
7 Everyone who worships idols and brags about false gods will be put to shame. All the gods will bow to him.
8 Zion hears about this and rejoices. The people of Judah are delighted with your judgments, O LORD.
9 You, O LORD, the Most High, are above the whole earth. You are highest. You are above all the gods.
10 Let those who love the LORD hate evil. The one who guards the lives of his godly ones will rescue them from the power of wicked people.
11 Light dawns for righteous people and joy for those whose motives are decent.
12 Find joy in the LORD, you righteous people. Give thanks to him as you remember how holy he is.

4 Shout happily to the LORD, all the earth. Break out into joyful singing, and make music.
5 Make music to the LORD with a lyre, with a lyre and the melody of a psalm,
6 with trumpets and the playing of a ram's horn. Shout happily in the presence of the king, the LORD.
7 Let the sea, everything in it, the world, and those who live in it roar like thunder.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands and the mountains sing joyfully
9 in the LORD's presence because he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and its people with fairness.

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests. Samuel was among those who prayed to him. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them from a column of smoke. They obeyed his written instructions and the laws that he gave them.
8 O LORD, our God, you answered them. You showed them that you are a forgiving God and that you are a God who punishes their [sinful] deeds.
9 Highly honor the LORD our God. Bow at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy!
