ISV(i)
1 God Reigns The LORD reigns! He is clothed in majesty; the LORD is clothed, and he is girded with strength. Indeed, the world is well established, and cannot be shaken.
2 Your throne has been established since time immemorial; you are king from eternity.
3 The rivers have flooded, LORD; the rivers have spoken aloud, the rivers have lifted up their crushing waves.
4 More than the sound of surging waters— the majestic waves of the sea— the LORD on high is majestic.
5 Your decrees are very trustworthy, and holiness always befits your house, LORD.
94 1God Avenges His Own God of vengeance, LORD God of vengeance, display your splendor!
2 Stand up, judge of the earth, and repay the proud.
3 How long will the wicked, LORD, how long will the wicked continue to triumph?
4 When they speak, they spew arrogance. Everyone who practices iniquity brags about it.
5 LORD, they have crushed your people, afflicting your heritage.
6 The wicked kill widows and foreigners; they murder orphans.
7 They say, “The LORD cannot see, and the God of Jacob will not notice.”
8 Pay attention, you dull ones among the crowds! You fools! Will you ever become wise?
9 The one who formed the ear can hear, can he not? The one who made the eyes can see, can he not?
10 The one who disciplines nations can rebuke them, can he not? The one who teaches mankind can discern, can he not?
11 The LORD knows the thoughts of human beings— that they are futile.
12 How blessed is the man whom you instruct, LORD, whom you teach from your Law,
13 keeping him calm when times are troubled until a pit has been dug for the wicked.
14 For the LORD will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage.
15 Righteousness will be restored with justice, and all the pure of heart will follow it.
16 Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will stand for me against those who practice iniquity?
17 If the LORD had not been my helper, I would have quickly become silent.
18 When I say that my foot is shaking, your gracious love, LORD, will sustain me.
19 When my anxious inner thoughts become overwhelming, your comfort encourages me.
20 Will destructive national leaders, who plan wicked things through misuse of the Law, be allied with you?
21 They gather together against the righteous, condemning the innocent to death.
22 But the LORD is my stronghold, and my God, the rock, is my refuge.
23 He will repay them for their sin; he will annihilate them because of their evil. The LORD our God will annihilate them.
95 1Worship and Obedience Come! Let us sing joyfully to the LORD! Let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us shout with songs of praise to him.
3 For the LORD is an awesome God; a great king above all divine beings.
4 He holds in his hand the lowest parts of the earth and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea that he made belongs to him, along with the dry land that his hands formed.
6 Come! Let us worship and bow down; let us kneel in the presence of the LORD, who made us.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the flock in his care. If only you would listen to his voice today,
8 do not be stubborn like your ancestors were at Meribah, as on that day at Massah, in the wilderness,
9 where your ancestors tested me. They tested me, even though they had seen my awesome deeds.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation, so I said, “They are a people whose hearts continuously err, and they have not understood my ways.”
11 So in my anger I declared an oath: “They are not to enter my place of rest.”
96 1Give Glory to the LORD Sing a new song to the LORD! Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
2 Sing to the LORD! Bless his name! Proclaim his deliverance every day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations and his awesome deeds among all the peoples!
4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised; he is awesome above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him; might and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name, bring an offering and enter his courts!
9 Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Declare among the nations, “The LORD reigns!” Indeed, he established the world so that it will not falter. He will judge people fairly.
11 The heavens will be glad and the earth will rejoice; even the sea and everything that fills it will roar.
12 The field and all that is in it will rejoice; then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 in the LORD’s presence, because he is coming;
