תְהִלִּים 95

1 לְ֭כוּ נְרַנְּנָ֣ה לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝רִ֗יעָה לְצ֣וּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ׃

Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us shout in triumph, to the rock of our salvation!

2 נְקַדְּמָ֣ה פָנָ֣יו בְּתֹודָ֑ה בִּ֝זְמִרֹ֗ות נָרִ֥יעַֽ לֹֽו׃

O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.

3 כִּ֤י אֵ֣ל גָּדֹ֣ול יְהוָ֑ה וּמֶ֥לֶךְ גָּ֝דֹ֗ול עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃

For, a great GOD, is Yahweh, And a great king, above all gods.

4 אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּ֭יָדֹו מֶחְקְרֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְתֹועֲפֹ֖ות הָרִ֣ים לֹֽו׃

In whose hand, are the hidden recesses of the earth, And, the peaks of the mountains, are his;

5 אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֣ו הַ֭יָּם וְה֣וּא עָשָׂ֑הוּ וְ֝יַבֶּ֗שֶׁת יָדָ֥יו יָצָֽרוּ׃

Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.

6 בֹּ֭אוּ נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֣ה וְנִכְרָ֑עָה נִ֝בְרְכָ֗ה לִֽפְנֵי־יְהוָ֥ה עֹשֵֽׂנוּ׃

Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh our maker;

7 כִּ֘י ה֤וּא אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַ֣ם מַ֭רְעִיתֹו וְצֹ֣אן יָדֹ֑ו הַ֝יֹּ֗ום אִֽם־בְּקֹלֹ֥ו תִשְׁמָֽעוּ׃

For, he, is our God, And, we, are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,

8 אַל־תַּקְשׁ֣וּ לְ֭בַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָ֑ה כְּיֹ֥ום מַ֝סָּ֗ה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃

Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, As on the day of Massah, in the desert;

9 אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭סּוּנִי אֲבֹותֵיכֶ֑ם בְּ֝חָנ֗וּנִי גַּם־רָא֥וּ פָעֳלֽ͏ִי׃

When your fathers, tested me, They proved me, yea they also saw what I could do.

10 אַרְבָּ֘עִ֤ים שָׁנָ֨ה ׀ אָ֘ק֤וּט בְּדֹ֗ור וָאֹמַ֗ר עַ֤ם תֹּעֵ֣י לֵבָ֣ב הֵ֑ם וְ֝הֵ֗ם לֹא־יָדְע֥וּ דְרָכָֽי׃

Forty years, loathed I that generation, So I said—A people going astray in heart, they are, Even they, have not known my ways!

11 אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתִּי בְאַפִּ֑י אִם־יְ֝בֹא֗וּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִֽי׃

And I sware in mine anger, —Verily they shall not enter into my rest.
