< Psalms 95 >

1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
Kommet, lasset uns Jehova zujubeln, lasset uns zujauchzen dem Felsen unseres Heils!
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
Lasset uns ihm entgegengehen mit Lob, [O. Dank] lasset uns mit Psalmen ihm zujauchzen!
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
Denn ein großer Gott [El] ist Jehova, und ein großer König über alle Götter;
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
In dessen Hand die Tiefen der Erde, und dessen die Höhen der Berge sind;
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
Dessen das Meer ist, er hat es ja gemacht; und das Trockene, seine Hände haben es gebildet.
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
Kommet, lasset uns anbeten und uns niederbeugen, lasset uns niederknien vor Jehova, der uns gemacht hat!
7 He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
Denn er ist unser Gott, und wir sind das Volk seiner Weide und die Herde seiner Hand. -Heute, wenn ihr seine Stimme höret,
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
Verhärtet euer Herz nicht, wie zu Meriba, wie am Tage von Massa in der Wüste;
9 There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
Als eure Väter mich versuchten, mich prüften, und sie sahen doch mein Werk!
10 For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
Vierzig Jahre hatte ich Ekel an dem Geschlecht, und ich sprach: Ein Volk irrenden Herzens sind sie. Aber sie haben meine Wege nicht erkannt;
11 So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
So daß ich schwur in meinem Zorn: Wenn sie in meine Ruhe eingehen werden!
