Psalm 95

Psalm 95

¹Come, let’s sing joyfully to the Lord. 

Let’s shout happily to the rock of our salvation. 

²Let’s come into his presence with a song of thanksgiving. 

Let’s shout happily to him with psalms. 

³The Lord is a great God and a great king above all gods. 

⁴In his hand are the deep places of the earth, 

and the mountain peaks are his. 

⁵The sea is his. 

He made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 

⁶Come, let’s worship and bow down. 

Let’s kneel in front of the Lord, our maker, 

⁷because he is our God 

and we are the people in his care, 

the flock that he leads. 

If only you would listen to him today! 

⁸“Do not be stubborn like ⸤my people were⸥ at Meribah, 

like the time at Massah in the desert. 

⁹Your ancestors challenged me and tested me there, 

although they had seen what I had done. 

¹⁰For 40 years I was disgusted with those people. 

So I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts continue to stray. 

They have not learned my ways.’ 

¹¹That is why I angrily took this solemn oath: 

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