Psalms 95

1 Oh come, let us sing to Yahweh; let us sing joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

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

2 Let us enter his presence with thanksgiving; let us sing to him with psalms of praise.

Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.

3 For Yahweh is a great God and a great King superior to all gods.

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.

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, and his hands formed the dry land.

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

6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Yahweh, our Creator:

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 of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. Today—oh, that you would hear his voice!

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 heart, as at Meribah, or as on the day of Massah in the wilderness,

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

9 where your forefathers tested me and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.

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

10 For forty years I was angry with that generation and said, 'This is a people whose hearts wander astray; they have not known my ways.'

“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 Therefore I vowed in my anger that they would never enter into my resting place.”

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