Psalms 95

1 Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.

Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph 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's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!

3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.

4 For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.

5 For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.

6 Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.

7 For he is the Lord 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 he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,

8 Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,

9 As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.

10 Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.

For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’

11 And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
