Psalms 95
1 Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
| לְ֭כוּ נְרַנְּנָ֣ה לַיהוָ֑ה נָ֝רִ֗יעָה לְצ֣וּר יִשְׁעֵֽנוּ׃ |
2 We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
| נְקַדְּמָ֣ה פָנָ֣יו בְּתֹודָ֑ה בִּ֝זְמִרֹ֗ות נָרִ֥יעַֽ לֹֽו׃ |
3 Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
| כִּ֤י אֵ֣ל גָּדֹ֣ול יְהוָ֑ה וּמֶ֥לֶךְ גָּ֝דֹ֗ול עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃ |
4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר בְּ֭יָדֹו מֶחְקְרֵי־אָ֑רֶץ וְתֹועֲפֹ֖ות הָרִ֣ים לֹֽו׃ |
5 The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
| אֲשֶׁר־לֹ֣ו הַ֭יָּם וְה֣וּא עָשָׂ֑הוּ וְ֝יַבֶּ֗שֶׁת יָדָ֥יו יָצָֽרוּ׃ |
6 We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
| בֹּ֭אוּ נִשְׁתַּחֲוֶ֣ה וְנִכְרָ֑עָה נִ֝בְרְכָ֗ה לִֽפְנֵי־יְהוָ֥ה עֹשֵֽׂנוּ׃ |
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.
| כִּ֘י ה֤וּא אֱלֹהֵ֗ינוּ וַאֲנַ֤חְנוּ עַ֣ם מַ֭רְעִיתֹו וְצֹ֣אן יָדֹ֑ו הַ֝יֹּ֗ום אִֽם־בְּקֹלֹ֥ו תִשְׁמָֽעוּ׃ |
8 He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
| אַל־תַּקְשׁ֣וּ לְ֭בַבְכֶם כִּמְרִיבָ֑ה כְּיֹ֥ום מַ֝סָּ֗ה בַּמִּדְבָּֽר׃ |
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].
| אֲשֶׁ֣ר נִ֭סּוּנִי אֲבֹותֵיכֶ֑ם בְּ֝חָנ֗וּנִי גַּם־רָא֥וּ פָעֳלֽ͏ִי׃ |
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.’
| אַרְבָּ֘עִ֤ים שָׁנָ֨ה ׀ אָ֘ק֤וּט בְּדֹ֗ור וָאֹמַ֗ר עַ֤ם תֹּעֵ֣י לֵבָ֣ב הֵ֑ם וְ֝הֵ֗ם לֹא־יָדְע֥וּ דְרָכָֽי׃ |
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!’”
| אֲשֶׁר־נִשְׁבַּ֥עְתִּי בְאַפִּ֑י אִם־יְ֝בֹא֗וּן אֶל־מְנוּחָתִֽי׃ |
