< Psalms 95 >
1 Come, let vs reioyce vnto the Lord: let vs sing aloude vnto the rocke of our saluation.
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let vs come before his face with praise: let vs sing loude vnto him with Psalmes.
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 aboue all gods.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
4 In whose hande are the deepe places of the earth, and the heightes of the mountaines are his:
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 To whome the Sea belongeth: for hee made it, and his handes formed the dry land.
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
6 Come, let vs worship and fall downe, and kneele before the Lord our maker.
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheepe of his hande: to day, if ye will heare his voyce,
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 Harden not your heart, as in Meribah, and as in the day of Massah in the wildernesse.
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 Where your fathers tempted me, proued me, though they had seene my worke.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Fourtie yeeres haue I contended with this generation, and said, They are a people that erre in heart, for they haue not knowen my wayes.
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 Wherefore I sware in my wrath, saying, Surely they shall not enter into my rest.
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
