< Psalms 95 >

1 Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
2 We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
3 For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
4 In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
6 Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
7 For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,
For he is our God, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
8 Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, 'A people erring in heart — they! And they have not known My ways:'
For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
11 Where I sware in Mine anger, 'If they come in unto My rest —!'
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
