Psalm 95

¹Come, let us sing to the Lord!

Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

²Let us come to him with thanksgiving.

Let us sing psalms of praise to him.

³For the Lord is a great God,

a great King above all gods.

⁴He holds in his hands the depths of the earth

and the mightiest mountains.

⁵The sea belongs to him, for he made it.

His hands formed the dry land, too.

⁶Come, let us worship and bow down.

Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,

⁷for he is our God.

We are the people he watches over,

the flock under his care.

If only you would listen to his voice today!

⁸The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah,

as they did at Massah in the wilderness.

⁹For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience,

even though they saw everything I did.

¹⁰For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,

‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.

They refuse to do what I tell them.’

¹¹So in my anger I took an oath:

‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”
