Psalms – Chapter 94

Old Testament11 Verses

1Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

3For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

5For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

7For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

8To day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

9As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

10Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.

11And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Reflection for Today

In Psalms Chapter 94, the Church invites us to listen attentively to God's Word within the broader narrative of prayer, praise, and the full range of human emotion before God.

The Second Vatican Council reminded the faithful that Scripture should permeate Catholic spirituality (Dei Verbum, 21-26). Psalms Chapter 94 supports that call by drawing attention to purity of heart and interior conversion within the wider message that God invites us to bring all our emotions to Him.

Entrust your meditation to Mary, who pondered God's Word in her heart. Through her intercession, may the message of purity of heart and interior conversion bear fruit in humility, courage, and charity this day.
