Psalms 93

3 The floods have lifted up, Yahweh,

the floods have lifted up their voice.

The floods lift up their waves.

4 Above the voices of many waters,

the mighty breakers of the sea,

Yahweh on high is mighty.

5 Your statutes stand firm.

Holiness adorns your house,

Yahweh, forever more.

 

Psalms 95

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!

 

Psalms 97

6 The heavens declare his righteousness.

All the peoples have seen his glory.

7 Let all them be shamed who serve engraved images,

who boast in their idols.

Worship him, all you gods!

8 Zion heard and was glad.

The daughters of Judah rejoiced,

because of your judgments, Yahweh.

9 For you, Yahweh, are most high above all the earth.

You are exalted far above all gods.

 

Psalms 98

4 Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth!

Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!

5 Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp,

with the harp and the voice of melody.

6 With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn,

make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

7 Let the sea roar with its fullness;

the world, and those who dwell therein.

8 Let the rivers clap their hands.

Let the mountains sing for joy together.
