Psalm 95

Psalm 95 ¹ Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD . Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.

² Let us come to him and give him thanks. Let us praise him with music and song.

³ The LORD is the great God. He is the greatest King. He rules over all the gods.

⁴ He owns the deepest parts of the earth. The mountain peaks belong to him.

⁵ The ocean is his, because he made it. He formed the dry land with his hands.

⁶ Come, let us bow down and worship him. Let us fall on our knees in front of the LORD our Maker.

⁷ He is our God. We are the sheep belonging to his flock. We are the people he takes good care of. If only you would listen to his voice today.

⁸ He says, “Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah. Don’t be stubborn as you were that day at Massah in the desert.

⁹ There your people of long ago really tested me. They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them.

¹⁰ For 40 years I was angry with them. I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray. They do not know how I want them to live.’ ¹¹ So when I was angry, I made a promise. I said, ‘They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ”
