< Psalms 95 >
1 O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.
Oh come, let us sing to Yahweh; let us sing joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.
Let us enter his presence with thanksgiving; let us sing to him with psalms of praise.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.
For Yahweh is a great God and a great King superior to all gods.
4 The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are 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; and the dry land was formed by his hands.
The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Yahweh, our Creator:
7 For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. Today—oh, that you would hear his voice!
8 Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;
“Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, or as on the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.
where your forefathers tested me and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.
10 For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;
For forty years I was angry with that generation and said, 'This is a people whose hearts wander astray; they have not known my ways.'
11 And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
Therefore I vowed in my anger that they would never enter into my resting place.”
