Psalms 95

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

Come! Let us ring out our joy to the Lord, let us merrily shout to our rock of salvation.

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

Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.

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

For the Lord is a great God, king above all gods.

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

In his hand are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his.

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

The sea is his, for he made it: the dry land was formed by his hands.

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

Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to 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 tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:

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

“Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, or at Massah, that day in the desert,

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

when your ancestors tempted and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.

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 filled with loathing for that generation, so I said: ‘A people with wandering hearts are they, and ignorant of my ways.’

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

So I solemnly swore to them in my anger, that never would they enter my place of rest.”
