Psalm 93

Dominus regnavit

  1. THE Lord is King, and hath put on glorious apparel : the Lord hath put on his apparel, and girded himself with strength.
  2. He hath made the round world so sure : that it cannot be moved.
  3. Ever since the world began hath thy seat been prepared : thou art from everlasting.
  4. The floods are risen, O Lord, the floods have lift up their voice : the floods lift up their waves.
  5. The waves of the sea are mighty, and rage horribly : but yet the Lord, who dwelleth on high, is mightier.
  6. Thy testimonies, O Lord, are very sure : holiness becometh thine house for ever.

Psalm 94

Deus ultionum

  1. O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth : thou God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
  2. Arise, thou Judge of the world : and reward the proud after their deserving.
  3. Lord, how long shall the ungodly : how long shall the ungodly triumph?
  4. How long shall all wicked doers speak so disdainfully : and make such proud boasting?
  5. They smite down thy people, O Lord : and trouble thine heritage.
  6. They murder the widow and the stranger : and put the fatherless to death.
  7. And yet they say, Tush, the Lord shall not see : neither shall the God of Jacob regard it.
  8. Take heed, ye unwise among the people : O ye fools, when will ye understand?
  9. He that planted the ear, shall he not hear : or he that made the eye, shall he not see?
  10. Or he that nurtureth the heathen : it is he that teacheth man knowledge, shall not he punish?
  11. The Lord knoweth the thoughts of man : that they are but vain.
  12. Blessed is the man whom thou chastenest, O Lord : and teachest him in thy law;
  13. That thou mayest give him patience in time of adversity : until the pit be digged up for the ungodly.
  14. For the Lord will not fail his people : neither will he forsake his inheritance;
  15. Until righteousness turn again unto judgement : all such as are true in heart shall follow it.
  16. Who will rise up with me against the wicked : or who will take my part against the evil-doers?
  17. If the Lord had not helped me : it had not failed but my soul had been put to silence.
  18. But when I said, My foot hath slipt : thy mercy, O Lord, held me up.
  19. In the multitude of the sorrows that I had in my heart : thy comforts have refreshed my soul.
  20. Wilt thou have any thing to do with the stool of wickedness : which imagineth mischief as a law?
  21. They gather them together against the soul of the righteous : and condemn the innocent blood.
  22. But the Lord is my refuge : and my God is the strength of my confidence.
  23. He shall recompense them their wickedness, and destroy them in their own malice : yea, the Lord our God shall destroy them.
