79:1O God, the heathen are come into thine inheritance; thy holy temple have they defiled; they have laid Jerusalem on heaps. 79:2The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth. 79:3Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them. 79:4We are become a reproach to our neighbours, a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. 79:5How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire? 79:6Pour out thy wrath upon the heathen that have not known thee, and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 79:7For they have devoured Jacob, and laid waste his dwelling place. 79:8O remember not against us former iniquities: let thy tender mercies speedily prevent us: for we are brought very low. 79:9Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name: and deliver us, and purge away our sins, for thy name’s sake. 79:10Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is their God? let him be known among the heathen in our sight by the revenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed. 79:11Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee; according to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to die; 79:12And render unto our neighbours sevenfold into their bosom their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord. 79:13So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture will give thee thanks for ever: we will shew forth thy praise to all generations.
80:1Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; thou that dwellest between the cherubims, shine forth. 80:2Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up thy strength, and come and save us. 80:3Turn us again, O God, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 80:4O LORD God of hosts, how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people? 80:5Thou feedest them with the bread of tears; and givest them tears to drink in great measure. 80:6Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves. 80:7Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved. 80:8Thou hast brought a vine out of Egypt: thou hast cast out the heathen, and planted it. 80:9Thou preparedst room before it, and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. 80:10The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars. 80:11She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river. 80:12Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? 80:13The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it. 80:14Return, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine; 80:15And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted, and the branch that thou madest strong for thyself. 80:16It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of thy countenance. 80:17Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself. 80:18So will not we go back from thee: quicken us, and we will call upon thy name. 80:19Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause thy face to shine; and we shall be saved.
81:1Sing aloud unto God our strength: make a joyful noise unto the God of Jacob. 81:2Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 81:3Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day. 81:4For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 81:5This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not. 81:6I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots. 81:7Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder: I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. Selah. 81:8Hear, O my people, and I will testify unto thee: O Israel, if thou wilt hearken unto me; 81:9There shall no strange god be in thee; neither shalt thou worship any strange god. 81:10I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 81:11But my people would not hearken to my voice; and Israel would none of me. 81:12So I gave them up unto their own hearts’ lust: and they walked in their own counsels. 81:13Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, and Israel had walked in my ways! 81:14I should soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries. 81:15The haters of the LORD should have submitted themselves unto him: but their time should have endured for ever. 81:16He should have fed them also with the finest of the wheat: and with honey out of the rock should I have satisfied thee.
82:1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods. 82:2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah. 82:3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy. 82:4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 82:5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 82:6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High. 82:7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes. 82:8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
83:1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. 83:2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 83:3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. 83:4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 83:5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee: 83:6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes; 83:7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre; 83:8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah. 83:9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison: 83:10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth. 83:11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna: 83:12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession. 83:13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind. 83:14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire; 83:15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm. 83:16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD. 83:17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish: 83:18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
84:1How amiable are thy tabernacles, O LORD of hosts! 84:2My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God. 84:3Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God. 84:4Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee. Selah. 84:5Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. 84:6Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 84:7They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. 84:8O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. 84:9Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. 84:10For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. 84:11For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. 84:12O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.
85:1LORD, thou hast been favourable unto thy land: thou hast brought back the captivity of Jacob. 85:2Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people, thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. 85:3Thou hast taken away all thy wrath: thou hast turned thyself from the fierceness of thine anger. 85:4Turn us, O God of our salvation, and cause thine anger toward us to cease. 85:5Wilt thou be angry with us for ever? wilt thou draw out thine anger to all generations? 85:6Wilt thou not revive us again: that thy people may rejoice in thee? 85:7Shew us thy mercy, O LORD, and grant us thy salvation. 85:8I will hear what God the LORD will speak: for he will speak peace unto his people, and to his saints: but let them not turn again to folly. 85:9Surely his salvation is nigh them that fear him; that glory may dwell in our land. 85:10Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 85:11Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 85:12Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. 85:13Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.
86:1Bow down thine ear, O LORD, hear me: for I am poor and needy. 86:2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 86:3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 86:4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 86:5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 86:6Give ear, O LORD, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 86:7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 86:8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 86:9All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 86:10For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 86:11Teach me thy way, O LORD; I will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name. 86:12I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore. 86:13For great is thy mercy toward me: and thou hast delivered my soul from the lowest hell. 86:14O God, the proud are risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought after my soul; and have not set thee before them. 86:15But thou, O Lord, art a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering, and plenteous in mercy and truth. 86:16O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid. 86:17Show me a token for good; that they which hate me may see it, and be ashamed: because thou, LORD, hast helped me, and comforted me.
87:1His foundation is in the holy mountains. 87:2The LORD loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. 87:3Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. 87:4I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. 87:5And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. 87:6The LORD shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. 87:7As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there: all my springs are in thee.
88:1O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before thee: 88:2Let my prayer come before thee: incline thine ear unto my cry; 88:3For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh unto the grave. 88:4I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man that hath no strength: 88:5Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand. 88:6Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps. 88:7Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted me with all thy waves. Selah. 88:8Thou hast put away mine acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination unto them: I am shut up, and I cannot come forth. 88:9Mine eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands unto thee. 88:10Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise and praise thee? Selah. 88:11Shall thy lovingkindness be declared in the grave? or thy faithfulness in destruction? 88:12Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness? 88:13But unto thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer prevent thee. 88:14LORD, why castest thou off my soul? why hidest thou thy face from me? 88:15I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up: while I suffer thy terrors I am distracted. 88:16Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off. 88:17They came round about me daily like water; they compassed me about together. 88:18Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, and mine acquaintance into darkness.
89:1I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations. 89:2For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens. 89:3I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant, 89:4Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah. 89:5And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. 89:6For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? 89:7God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. 89:8O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee? 89:9Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them. 89:10Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm. 89:11The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them. 89:12The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name. 89:13Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand. 89:14Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. 89:15Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance. 89:16In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted. 89:17For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted. 89:18For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king. 89:19Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people. 89:20I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him: 89:21With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him. 89:22The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 89:23And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him. 89:24But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted. 89:25I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers. 89:26He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. 89:27Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth. 89:28My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him. 89:29His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven. 89:30If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; 89:31If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; 89:32Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 89:33Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail. 89:34My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips. 89:35Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David. 89:36His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me. 89:37It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 89:38But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed. 89:39Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground. 89:40Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 89:41All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours. 89:42Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice. 89:43Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle. 89:44Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground. 89:45The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah. 89:46How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire? 89:47Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain? 89:48What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah. 89:49Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth? 89:50Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people; 89:51Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed. 89:52Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
90:1LORD, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations. 90:2Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God. 90:3Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men. 90:4For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night. 90:5Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up. 90:6In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth. 90:7For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled. 90:8Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance. 90:9For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told. 90:10The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. 90:11Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath. 90:12So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. 90:13Return, O LORD, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants. 90:14O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 90:15Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 90:16Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 90:17And let the beauty of the LORD our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
91:1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 91:2I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. 91:3Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. 91:4He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 91:5Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 91:6Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 91:7A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. 91:8Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. 91:9Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation; 91:10There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 91:11For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. 91:12They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 91:13Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 91:14Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 91:15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 91:16With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.
92:1It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: 92:2To shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night, 92:3Upon an instrument of ten strings, and upon the psaltery; upon the harp with a solemn sound. 92:4For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands. 92:5O LORD, how great are thy works! and thy thoughts are very deep. 92:6A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. 92:7When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 92:8But thou, LORD, art most high for evermore. 92:9For, lo, thine enemies, O LORD, for, lo, thine enemies shall perish; all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. 92:10But my horn shalt thou exalt like the horn of an unicorn: I shall be anointed with fresh oil. 92:11Mine eye also shall see my desire on mine enemies, and mine ears shall hear my desire of the wicked that rise up against me. 92:12The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon. 92:13Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God. 92:14They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing; 92:15To shew that the LORD is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
93:1The LORD reigneth, he is clothed with majesty; the LORD is clothed with strength, wherewith he hath girded himself: the world also is stablished, that it cannot be moved. 93:2Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting. 93:3The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their waves. 93:4The LORD on high is mightier than the noise of many waters, yea, than the mighty waves of the sea. 93:5Thy testimonies are very sure: holiness becometh thine house, O LORD, for ever.
94:1O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself. 94:2Lift up thyself, thou judge of the earth: render a reward to the proud. 94:3LORD, how long shall the wicked, how long shall the wicked triumph? 94:4How long shall they utter and speak hard things? and all the workers of iniquity boast themselves? 94:5They break in pieces thy people, O LORD, and afflict thine heritage. 94:6They slay the widow and the stranger, and murder the fatherless. 94:7Yet they say, The LORD shall not see, neither shall the God of Jacob regard it. 94:8Understand, 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 heathen, shall not he correct? he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he know? 94:11The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity. 94:12Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O LORD, and teachest him 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 the LORD will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance. 94:15But judgment shall return unto righteousness: and all the upright in heart shall follow it. 94:16Who will rise up for me against the evildoers? or who will stand up for me against the workers of iniquity? 94:17Unless the LORD had been my help, my soul had almost dwelt in silence. 94:18When I said, My foot slippeth; thy mercy, O LORD, held me up. 94:19In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. 94:20Shall the throne of iniquity have fellowship with thee, which frameth mischief by a law? 94:21They gather themselves together against the soul of the righteous, and condemn the innocent blood. 94:22But the LORD is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge. 94:23And he shall bring upon them their own iniquity, and shall cut them off in their own wickedness; yea, the LORD our God shall cut them off.
95:1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 95:2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 95:3For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 95:4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 95:5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 95:6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 95:7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 95:8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 95:9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 95:10Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 95:11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
96:1O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. 96:2Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. 96:3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 96:4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods. 96:5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 96:6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 96:7Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. 96:8Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 96:9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 96:10Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously. 96:11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. 96:12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice 96:13Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
97:1The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad thereof. 97:2Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the habitation of his throne. 97:3A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his enemies round about. 97:4His lightnings enlightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled. 97:5The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth. 97:6The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the people see his glory. 97:7Confounded be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods. 97:8Zion heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. 97:9For thou, LORD, art high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods. 97:10Ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked. 97:11Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 97:12Rejoice in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness.
98:1O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 98:2The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 98:3He 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. 98:4Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 98:5Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 98:6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 98:7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 98:8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 98:9Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
