Psalms 95

1 Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh. Let’s shout aloud 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’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!

3 For Yahweh is a great God, 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 heights of the mountains are also his.

He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.

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

The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.

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

Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.

7 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!

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 Don’t harden your heart, as at 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 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.

10 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.”

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

So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
