Psalm 94-96

New King James Version

⁴ They ^(D)utter speech, and speak insolent things;
All the workers of iniquity boast in themselves.
⁵ They break in pieces Your people, O Lord,
And afflict Your heritage.
⁶ They slay the widow and the stranger,
And murder the fatherless.
^7 (E)Yet they say, “The Lord does not see,
Nor does the God of Jacob ^[b]understand.”

⁸ Understand, you senseless among the people;
And you fools, when will you be wise?
^9 (F)He who planted the ear, shall He not hear?
He who formed the eye, shall He not see?
¹⁰ He who ^[c]instructs the ^[d]nations, shall He not correct,
He who teaches man knowledge?
¹¹ The Lord ^(G)knows the thoughts of man,
That they are futile.

¹² Blessed is the man whom You ^(H)instruct, O Lord,
And teach out of Your law,
¹³ That You may give him ^[e]rest from the days of adversity,
Until the pit is dug for the wicked.
¹⁴ For the Lord will not ^[f]cast off His people,
Nor will He forsake His inheritance.
¹⁵ But judgment will return to righteousness,
And all the upright in heart will follow it.

¹⁶ Who will rise up for me against the evildoers?
Who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity?
¹⁷ Unless the Lord had been my help,
My soul would soon have settled in silence.
¹⁸ If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.
¹⁹ In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

²⁰ Shall ^(I)the throne of iniquity, which devises evil by law,
Have fellowship with You?
²¹ They gather together against the life of the righteous,
And condemn ^(J)innocent blood.
²² But the Lord has been my defense,
And my God the rock of my refuge.
²³ He has brought on them their own iniquity,
And shall ^[g]cut them off in their own wickedness;
The Lord our God shall cut them off.

⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let ^(N)us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
⁷ For He is our God,
And ^(O)we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep ^[i]of His hand.

^(P)Today, if you will hear His voice:
⁸ “Do not harden your hearts, as in the ^[j]rebellion,
^(Q)As in the day of ^[k]trial in the wilderness,
⁹ When ^(R)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they ^(S)saw My work.
¹⁰ For ^(T)forty years I was ^[l]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
¹¹ So ^(U)I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”

⁴ For ^(X)the Lord is great and ^(Y)greatly to be praised;
^(Z)He is to be feared above all gods.
⁵ For ^(AA)all the gods of the peoples are idols,
^(AB)But the Lord made the heavens.
⁶ Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and ^(AC)beauty are in His sanctuary.

^7 (AD)Give^[n] to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.
^8 [o]Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.
⁹ Oh, worship the Lord ^(AE)in the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among the ^[p]nations, ^(AF)“The Lord reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be ^[q]moved;
^(AG)He shall judge the peoples righteously.”

^11 (AH)Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
^(AI)Let the sea roar, and ^[r]all its fullness;
¹² Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice
¹³     before the Lord.
For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
^(AJ)He shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.
