< Psalms 95 >
1 Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3 For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4 He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.
5 The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
The sea [is] his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry [land].
6 Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7 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,
For he [is] our God; and we [are] the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, if ye will hear his voice,
8 don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9 when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 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.’
Forty years long was I grieved with [this] generation, and said, It [is] a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11 So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
To whom I swore in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest.
