< Psalms 95 >
1 Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
Come, let us make a joyful noise to Yahweh, Let us 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.
O let us come before his face with thanksgiving, With the sounds of strings, let us shout aloud to him.
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
For, a great GOD, is Yahweh, And 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.
In whose hand, are the hidden recesses of the earth, And, the peaks of the mountains, are his;
5 For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
Whose, is the sea, for, he, made it, And, the dry land, his hands, did form.
6 Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.
Enter! let us bow down, and bend low, Let us kneel, before Yahweh our maker;
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 of his pasture, and the flock of his hand? To-day, if, to his voice, ye will hearken,
8 Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
Do not harden your heart as at Meribah, As on the day of 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 fathers, tested me, They proved me, yea they also saw what I could do.
10 Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
Forty years, loathed I that generation, So I said—A people going astray in heart, they are, Even they, have not known 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.
And I sware in mine anger, —Verily they shall not enter into my rest.
