Psalms 95

1 The praise of a Song by David. Come, let us exult in the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour.

Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

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

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great king over all gods: for the Lord will not cast off his people.

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

4 For the ends of the earth are in his hands; and the heights of the mountains are his.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

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

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us worship and fall down before him; and weep before the Lord that made us.

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,

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

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

8 To-day, if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of irritation in the wilderness:

Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works.

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

10 Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
