• Psalms 96:1-13

  [1] Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. [2] Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day! [3] Declare his glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples. [4] For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods. [5] For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But Yahweh made the heavens. [6] Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. [7] Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. [8] Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts. [9] Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth. [10] Say among the nations, "Yahweh reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. [11] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and it's fullness! [12] Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy [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.

• Psalms 33:1-22

  [1] Rejoice in Yahweh, you righteous! Praise is fitting for the upright. [2] Give thanks to Yahweh with the lyre. Sing praises to him with the harp of ten strings. [3] Sing to him a new song. Play skillfully with a shout of joy! [4] For the word of Yahweh is right. All his work is done in faithfulness. [5] He loves righteousness and justice. The earth is full of the loving kindness of Yahweh. [6] By Yahweh's word the heavens were made; All their host by the breath of his mouth. [7] He gathers the waters of the sea together as a heap. He lays up the deeps in storehouses. [8] Let all the earth fear Yahweh. Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. [9] For he spoke, and it was done. He commanded, and it stood firm. [10] Yahweh brings the counsel of the nations to nothing. He makes the thoughts of the peoples to be of no effect. [11] The counsel of Yahweh stands fast forever, The thoughts of his heart to all generations. [12] Blessed is the nation whose God is Yahweh, The people whom he has chosen for his own inheritance. [13] Yahweh looks from heaven. He sees all the sons of men. [14] From the place of his habitation he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, [15] He who fashions all of their hearts; And he considers all of their works. [16] There is no king saved by the multitude of a host. A mighty man is not delivered by great strength. [17] A horse is a vain thing for safety, Neither does he deliver any by his great power. [18] Behold, Yahweh's eye is on those who fear him, On those who hope in his loving kindness; [19] To deliver their soul from death, To keep them alive in famine. [20] Our soul has waited for Yahweh. He is our help and our shield. [21] For our heart rejoices in him, Because we have trusted in his holy name. [22] Let your loving kindness be on us, Yahweh, Since we have hoped in you.

• Psalms 95:1-11

  [1] Oh come, let's sing to Yahweh. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation! [2] Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs! [3] For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods. [4] In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his. [5] The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land. [6] Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before Yahweh, our Maker, [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! [8] Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness, [9] When your fathers tempted me, Tested me, and saw my work. [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." [11] Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
