Psalms of Praise
(New International
Version)
He who dwells in the shelter of
the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. (91:1)
It is good to praise the Lord and make music to Your Name, O
Most High, to proclaim Your love in the morning and Your faithfulness at night.
For You make me glad Your deeds, O Lord; I sing for joy at the works of Your
hands. (92;1-2, 4-5)
The Lord reigns, He is robed in majesty; the Lord is robed
in majesty and is armed with strength. The world is firmly established; it
cannot be moved. Your throne was established long ago; You are from all
eternity. Mightier than the thunder of the great waters, mightier than the
breakers of the sea – the Lord on high is mighty. Your statutes stand firm;
holiness adorns Your house for endless days, O Lord. (93:1-2, 4-5)
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to
the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before Him with thanksgiving and extol
Him with music and song. For the Lord is the great God, the great King above
all gods. In His hands are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks
belong to Him. The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry
land. Come let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His
care. (95:1-7)
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise His name; proclaim
His salvation day after day. Declare His glory among the nations, His
marvellous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the Lord and most
worthy of praise; He is to be feared among all gods. For all the gods of the
nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Splendour and majesty are
before Him; strength and glory are in His sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families
of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the
glory due His Name; bring an offering and come into His courts. Worship the
Lord in the splendour of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “The
Lord reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; He will
judge the peoples with equity. Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
let the sea resound, and all that is in it; let the fields be jubilant and
everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy; they
will sing before the Lord, for He comes, He comes to judge the earth. He will
judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His truth. (96:1-13)
The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant
shores rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; righteousness and
justice are the foundation of His throne. The heavens proclaim His
righteousness and all the peoples see His glory. For You, O Lord, are the Most
High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods. Light is shed upon
the righteous and joy on the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord, you who are
righteous, and praise His holy Name. (97:1-2, 6, 9, 11-12)
Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done marvelous
things; His right hand and His holy arm have worked salvation for Him. The Lord
has made His salvation known and revealed His righteousness to the nations. He
has remembered His love and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the
ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth, burst into
jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp, with the harp
and the sound of singing, with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn – shout
for joy before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea resound, and everything in it, the world and all
who live in it. Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing
together for joy; let them sing before the Lord, for He comes to judge the
earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples with equity.
(98:1-9)
Let them praise Your great and awesome Name - He is holy. The King is mighty, he loves
justice. Exalt the Lord our God and worship at His footstool; He is holy. Exalt
the Lord our God and worship at His holy mountain, for the Lord our God is
holy. (99:3-5, 9)
Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord
with gladness; come before Him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It
is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to
Him and praise His Name. For the Lord is good and His love endures forever; His
faithfulness continues through all generations. (100:1-5)
I will sing of Your love and justice; to You, O Lord, I will
sing praise. (101:1)
Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my inmost being, praise His
holy Name. Praise the Lord all my soul, and forget not all His benefits – who
forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from
the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires
with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the
oppressed. The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in
love.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is
His love for those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far
has He removed our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion on his
children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with
those who fear Him, and His righteousness with their children’s children – with
those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
The Lord has established His throne in heaven, and His
kingdom rules over all. Praise the Lord, you His angels, you mighty ones who do
His bidding, who obey His word. Praise the Lord, all His heavenly hosts, you
His servants who do His will. Praise the Lord all His works and everywhere in
His dominion. Praise the Lord, O my soul. (103:1-6, 8-11, 17-22)
Praise the Lord, O my soul. O Lord my God, You are very great;
You are clothed with splendor and majesty. How many are Your works, O Lord! In
wisdom You made them all; the earth is full of Your creatures. May the glory of
the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works. I will sing to the
Lord all of my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my
meditation be pleasing to Him, as I rejoice in the Lord. Praise the Lord, O my
soul. Praise the Lord. (104:1, 24, 31, 33-35)
Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among
the nations what he has done. Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His
wonderful acts. Glory in His holy Name; let the hearts of those who seek the
Lord rejoice. Look to the Lord and His strength; seek His face always. Remember
the wonders He has done, His miracles and the judgments He pronounced.
(105:1-5)
Praise the Lord. Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good;
His love endures forever. Who can proclaim the mighty acts of the Lord or fully
declare His praise? Remember me, O Lord, when You show favor to Your people,
come to my aid when You save them, that I may enjoy the prosperity of Your
chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of Your nation and join Your
inheritance in giving praise. (106:1-5)
Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures
forever. Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His
wonderful deeds for men. (107:1, 8)
