Psalms 95; Psalms 97; Psalms 98; Psalms 99

1 (94-1) Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

2 (94-2) Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

3 (94-3) For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4 (94-4) For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

5 (94-5) For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6 (94-6) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

7 (94-7) For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

8 (94-8) To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

9 (94-9) As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

10 (94-10) Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.

11 (94-11) And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

1 (96-1) <For the same David, when his land was restored again to him.> The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

2 (96-2) Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

3 (96-3) A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.

4 (96-4) His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.

5 (96-5) The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

6 (96-6) The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

7 (96-7) Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

8 (96-8) Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

9 (96-9) For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

10 (96-10) You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

11 (96-11) Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

12 (96-12) Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

1 (97-1) <A psalm for David himself.> Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.

2 (97-2) The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

3 (97-3) He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 (97-4) Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

5 (97-5) Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:

6 (97-6) With long trumpets, and sound of cornet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

7 (97-7) Let the sea be moved and the fullness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

8 (97-8) The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together

9 (97-9) At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.

1 (98-1) <A psalm for David himself.> The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.

2 (98-2) The lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.

3 (98-3) Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

4 (98-4) And the king’s honour loveth judgment. Thou hast prepared directions: thou hast done judgment and justice in Jacob.

5 (98-5) Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore his footstool, for it is holy.

6 (98-6) Moses and Aaron among his priests: and Samuel among them that call upon his name. They called upon the Lord, and he heard them:

7 (98-7) He spoke to them in the pillar of the cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the commandment which he gave them.

8 (98-8) Thou didst hear them, O Lord our God: thou wast a merciful God to them, and taking vengeance on all their inventions.

9 (98-9) Exalt ye the Lord our God, and adore at his holy mountain: for the Lord our God is holy.
