Day 142.  Reading Psalm 95, 97, 98, 99.

Psalm 95.

This psalm reads like Psalm 100; praise and thanksgiving to “the LORD, a great God, and a great King above all gods.  Perhaps you have even sung the following as a chorus.

• O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.

.

Psalm 97.

Another wonderful psalm of praise and glory at the majesty of the LORD.

• The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice. Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Fire goes before Him and burns up His adversaries all around. His lightnings light up the world; the earth sees and trembles. The mountains melt like wax before the LORD, before the LORD of all the earth.  YOU, O LORD, are most high over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
• Rejoice in the LORD, O you righteous, and give thanks to His holy Name.

.

Psalm 98.

More praise to the Lord, plus a hint at the coming Messiah.

• O 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 known His salvation; He has revealed his righteousness in the sight of all nations.
• …make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD!  Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it!  Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together before the LORD, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

.

Psalm 99.

The LORD our God is holy. His awesome Name is to be praised!

• Exalt the LORD our God; worship at His footstool!  HOLY IS HE!
• Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called upon his name. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.  In the pillar of the cloud, He spoke to them; they kept His testimonies and the statute that He gave them.  O LORD, our God, You answered them; You were a forgiving God to them. 
• Exalt the LORD our God, and worship at His holy mountain; FOR THE LORD OUR GOD IS HOLY!

Father, God, we too worship You, for YOU ARE WORTHY!
