Psalm 95
[95:1] Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! [95:2] Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs! [95:3] For Yahweh is a great God, a great King above all gods. [95:4] In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his. [95:5] The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land. [95:6] Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker, [95:7] for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice! [95:8] Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness, [95:9] when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work. [95:10] Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways." [95:11] Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
Psalm 96
[96:1] Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. [96:2] Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day! [96:3] Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. [96:4] For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods. [96:5] For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens. [96:6] Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. [96:7] Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. [96:8] Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts. [96:9] Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth. [96:10] Say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. [96:11] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness! [96:12] Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy [96:13] before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
Psalm 97
[97:1] Yahweh reigns! Let the earth rejoice! Let the multitude of islands be glad! [97:2] Clouds and darkness are around him. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne. [97:3] A fire goes before him, and burns up his adversaries on every side. [97:4] His lightning lights up the world. The earth sees, and trembles. [97:5] The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. [97:6] The heavens declare his righteousness. All the peoples have seen his glory. [97:7] Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images, who boast in their idols. Worship him, all you gods! [97:8] Zion heard and was glad. The daughters of Judah rejoiced, because of your judgments, Yahweh. [97:9] For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth. You are exalted far above all gods. [97:10] You who love Yahweh, hate evil. He preserves the souls of his saints. He delivers them out of the hand of the wicked. [97:11] Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. [97:12] Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous people! Give thanks to his holy Name.
Psalm 98
A Psalm.
[98:1] Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him. [98:2] Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations. [98:3] He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. [98:4] Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises! [98:5] Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody. [98:6] With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh. [98:7] Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein. [98:8] Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together. [98:9] Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
