Psalm 95
A Call To Praise and Obey God
1 Come, let us sing with jubilation to the Lord;
let us cry out to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with our songs.
3 For the Lord is the great God,
the King who surpasses all other gods.
4 In his hands are the depths of the earth,
and the peaks of the mountains are his.
5 To him belongs the sea, for he created it,
and also the dry land that his hands have molded.
6 Come forth! Let us bow down to worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people he shepherds,
the flock he protects.
If only you would listen to his voice today:
8 “Harden not your hearts as you did at Meribah,
as on the day of Massah in the wilderness.
9 It was there that your ancestors sought to tempt me;
they put me to the test
even though they had witnessed my works.
10 “For forty years I loathed that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not know my ways.’
11 Therefore, in my anger I swore,
‘They will never enter my rest.’ ”
