Psalms 95
1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise 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 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 The sea [is] his, 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 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD 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 [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
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 the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation 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 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, 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 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
