Psalm 19; Psalm 65; Psalm 96; Psalm 100; Psalm 105

1The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

2Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.

3Without speech or language, without a sound to be heard,

4their voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

5Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course,

6it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.

7The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making wise the simple.

8The precepts of the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.

9The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.

10They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.

11By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.

12Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my hidden faults.

13Keep Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of great transgression.

14May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

1Praise awaits You, O God, in Zion; to You our vows will be fulfilled.

2O You who listen to prayer, all people will come to You.

3When iniquities prevail against me, You atone for our transgressions.

4Blessed is the one You choose and bring near to dwell in Your courts! We are filled with the goodness of Your house, the holiness of Your temple.

5With awesome deeds of righteousness You answer us, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas.

6You formed the mountains by Your power, having girded Yourself with might.

7You stilled the roaring of the seas, the pounding of their waves, and the tumult of the nations.

8Those who live far away fear Your wonders; You make the dawn and sunset shout for joy.

9You attend to the earth and water it; with abundance You enrich it. The streams of God are full of water, for You prepare our grain by providing for the earth.

10You soak its furrows and level its ridges; You soften it with showers and bless its growth.

11You crown the year with Your bounty, and Your paths overflow with plenty.

12The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

13The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

1Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

3Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

4For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

6Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

9Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

10Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

11Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

12Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

1Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth.

2Serve the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with joyful songs.

3Know that the LORD is God. It is He who made us, and we are His; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

4Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.

5For the LORD is good, and His loving devotion endures forever; His faithfulness continues to all generations.

1Give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; make known His deeds among the nations.

2Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders.

3Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

4Seek out the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

5Remember the wonders He has done, His marvels, and the judgments He has pronounced,

6O offspring of His servant Abraham, O sons of Jacob, His chosen ones.

7He is the LORD our God; His judgments carry throughout the earth.

8He remembers His covenant forever, the word He ordained for a thousand generations—

9the covenant He made with Abraham, and the oath He swore to Isaac.

10He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an everlasting covenant:

11“I will give you the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance.”

12When they were few in number, few indeed, and strangers in the land,

13they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.

14He let no man oppress them; He rebuked kings on their behalf:

15“Do not touch My anointed ones! Do no harm to My prophets!”

16He called down famine on the land and cut off all their supplies of food.

17He sent a man before them— Joseph, sold as a slave.

18They bruised his feet with shackles and placed his neck in irons,

19until his prediction came true and the word of the LORD proved him right.

20The king sent and released him; the ruler of peoples set him free.

21He made him master of his household, ruler over all his substance,

22to instruct his princes as he pleased and teach his elders wisdom.

23Then Israel entered Egypt; Jacob dwelt in the land of Ham.

24And the LORD made His people very fruitful, more numerous than their foes,

25whose hearts He turned to hate His people, to conspire against His servants.

26He sent Moses His servant, and Aaron, whom He had chosen.

27They performed His miraculous signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham.

28He sent darkness, and it became dark— yet they defied His words.

29He turned their waters to blood and caused their fish to die.

30Their land teemed with frogs, even in their royal chambers.

31He spoke, and insects swarmed— gnats throughout their country.

32He gave them hail for rain, with lightning throughout their land.

33He struck their vines and fig trees and shattered the trees of their country.

34He spoke, and the locusts came— young locusts without number.

35They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.

36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.

37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.

38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.

39He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.

40They asked, and He brought quail and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.

41He opened a rock, and water gushed out; it flowed like a river in the desert.

42For He remembered His holy promise to Abraham His servant.

43He brought forth His people with rejoicing, His chosen with shouts of joy.

44He gave them the lands of the nations, that they might inherit the fruit of others’ labor,

45that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!
