Psalm 95
1Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord.
Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.
2Let us come to him and give him thanks.
Let us praise him with music and song.
3The Lord is the great God.
He is the greatest King.
He rules over all the gods.
4He owns the deepest parts of the earth.
The mountain peaks belong to him.
5The ocean is his, because he made it.
He formed the dry land with his hands.
6Come, let us bow down and worship him.
Let us fall on our knees in front of the Lord our Maker.
7He is our God.
We are the sheep belonging to his flock.
We are the people he takes good care of.
If only you would listen to his voice today.
8He says, “Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah.
Don’t be stubborn as you were that day at Massah in the desert.
9There your people of long ago really tested me.
They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them.
10For 40 years I was angry with them.
I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray.
They do not know how I want them to live.’
11So when I was angry, I made a promise.
I said, ‘They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ”
Psalm 95
1Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.
3For the Lord is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
7for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8‘Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,95:8 Meribah means quarrelling.
as you did that day at Massah95:8 Massah means testing. in the wilderness,
9where your ancestors tested me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.”
11So I declared on oath in my anger,
“They shall never enter my rest.” ’
