< Psalms 95 >
1 Oh come, let's sing to the LORD. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation.
O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs.
Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.
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 over all gods.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.
5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.
6 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before the LORD, our Maker,
O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.
7 for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, if you would hear his voice.
For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
8 Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;
9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation, and said, "It is a people who go astray in their heart, and they do not know my ways."
For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
