Psalms 95

1 Come, let us sing aloud to Jehovah, let us shout for joy 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 us come before his face with thanksgiving; let us shout aloud unto him with psalms.

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

3 For Jehovah is a great God, and 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 his also:

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 his hands formed the dry [land].

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

6 Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker.

Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to the Lord our creator.

7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye 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 Harden not 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, proved me, and saw my work.

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

10 Forty years was I grieved with the generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and 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 So that I swore in mine anger, that they should not enter into my rest.

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