Psalms 95

1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

Come! Let us ring out our joy to the Lord, let us merrily shout to our rock of salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.

3 For the LORD [is] a great God, and a great King above all gods.

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

4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills [is] his also.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his.

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

The sea is his, for he made it: the dry land was formed by his hands.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to the Lord our creator.

7 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,

For he is our God; and we are the people he tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, [and] as [in] the day of temptation in the wilderness:

‘Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, or at Massah, that day in the desert,

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

when your ancestors tempted and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.

10 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:

‘For forty years I was filled with loathing for that generation, so I said: “A people with wandering hearts are they, and ignorant of my ways.”

11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

So I solemnly swore to them in my anger, that never would they enter my place of rest.’
