< Psalms 95 >
1 Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.
3 For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
For a great God [is] Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.
4 He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills [are] His.
5 The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
Whose is the sea, 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.
Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah 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 the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

Harden not your heart as [in] Meribah, As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen 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 I am weary of the generation, And I say, 'A people erring in heart — they! And they have not known My ways:'
11 So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
Where I sware in Mine anger, 'If they come in unto My rest —!'
