< Psalms 95 >
1 The praise of a Song by David. Come, let us exult in the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and shout joyfully unto him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great king over all gods: for the Lord will not cast off his people.
For a great God is the Lord, and a great King above all Gods;
4 For the ends of the earth are in his hands; and the heights of the mountains are his.
In whose hand are the deep places of the earth; and whose are the heights of mountains;
5 For the sea is his, and he made it: and is hands formed the dry land.
Whose is the sea, and who hath made it; and whose hands have formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us worship and fall down before him; and weep before the Lord that made us.
Oh come, let us prostrate ourselves and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the flock of his hand: yea, this day, if ye will hearken to his voice,
8 To-day, if you will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, according to the day of irritation in the wilderness:
Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as on the day of the temptation in the wilderness:
9 where your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, although they had seen my doing.
10 Forty years was I grieved with this generation, and said, They do always err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.
Forty years long did I feel loathing on that generation, and I said, It is a people of an erring heart; and they truly acknowledged not my ways:
11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.
So that I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
