The Psalms
Psalm 93
93:1Jehovah reigneth; he is clothed with majesty;
Jehovah is clothed with strength; he hath girded himself therewith:
The world also is established, that it cannot be moved.
93:2Thy throne is established of old:
Thou art from everlasting.
93:3The floods have lifted up, O Jehovah,
The floods have lifted up their voice;
The floods lift up their waves.
93:4Above the voices of many waters,
The mighty breakers of the sea,
Jehovah on high is mighty.
93:5Thy testimonies are very sure:
Holiness becometh thy house,
O Jehovah, for evermore.
94:1O Jehovah, thou God to whom vengeance belongeth,
Thou God to whom vengeance belongeth, shine forth.
94:2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth:
Render to the proud their desert.
94:3Jehovah, how long shall the wicked,
How long shall the wicked triumph?
94:4They prate, they speak arrogantly:
All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
94:5They break in pieces thy people, O Jehovah,
And afflict thy heritage.
94:6They slay the widow and the sojourner,
And murder the fatherless.
94:7And they say, Jehovah will not see,
Neither will the God of Jacob consider.
94:8Consider, ye brutish among the people;
And ye fools, when will ye be wise?
94:9He that planted the ear, shall he not hear?
He that formed the eye, shall he not see?
94:10He that chastiseth the nations, shall not he correct,
Even he that teacheth man knowledge?
94:11Jehovah knoweth the thoughts of man,
That they are vanity.
94:12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Jehovah,
And teachest out of thy law;
94:13That thou mayest give him rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit be digged for the wicked.
94:14For Jehovah will not cast off his people,
Neither will he forsake his inheritance.
94:15For judgment shall return unto righteousness;
And all the upright in heart shall follow it.
94:16Who will rise up for me against the evil-doers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
94:17Unless Jehovah had been my help,
My soul had soon dwelt in silence.
94:18When I said, My foot slippeth;
Thy lovingkindness, O Jehovah, held me up.
94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me Thy comforts delight my soul.
94:20Shall the throne of wickedness have fellowship with thee,
Which frameth mischief by statute?
94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous,
And condemn the innocent blood.
94:22But Jehovah hath been my high tower,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
94:23And he hath brought upon them their own iniquity,
And will cut them off in their own wickedness;
Jehovah our God will cut them off.
95:1Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
95:2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
95:3For Jehovah is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the mountains are his also.
95:5The sea is his, and he made it;
And his hands formed the dry land.
95:6Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
95:7For he is our God,
And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!
95:8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah,
As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;
95:9When your fathers tempted me,
Proved me, and saw my work.
95:10Forty years long was I grieved with that generation,
And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
And they have not known my ways:
95:11Wherefore I sware in my wrath,
That they should not enter into my rest.
