Salmos 95

1 ¡Vengan, cantemos con gozo a Yavé! ¡Aclamemos con júbilo a la Roca de nuestra salvación!

Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!

2 Entremos ante su Presencia con acción de gracias, Aclamémoslo con salmos.

We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.

3 Porque Yavé es ʼEL grande, Y gran Rey sobre todos los ʼelohim.

Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.

4 En su mano están las profundidades de la tierra. Suyas son las alturas de las montañas.

He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.

5 Suyo es el mar, pues Él lo hizo, Y sus manos formaron la tierra seca.

The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.

6 Vengan, adoremos y postrémonos. Arrodillémonos [ante] la Presencia de Yavé, nuestro Hacedor,

We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.

7 Porque Él es nuestro ʼElohim, Nosotros el pueblo de su prado y ovejas de su mano. Si ustedes oyen hoy su voz,

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.

8 No endurezcan sus corazones como en Meriba, Como en el día de Masa en el desierto,

He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.

9 Cuando me tentaron sus antepasados. Me probaron, aunque vieron mi obra.

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].

10 Durante 40 años estuve disgustado con aquella generación, Y dije: Es un pueblo que divaga en su corazón, Y no conoce mis caminos.

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.’

11 Por tanto, juré en mi ira Que no entrarán en mi reposo.

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!’”
