< Psalms 95 >
1 Oh come, let's sing to YHWH. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour.
2 Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
3 For YHWH 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 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.
5 The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before YHWH, our Maker,
Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.
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 the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
8 Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
9 when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
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."
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
