Psalms 95

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

2 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, king above all gods.

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

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

6 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 he tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:

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

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

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