Psalm 95
A Call to Worship and Obedience
1 O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!(A)
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!(B)
3 For the Lord is a great God
and a great King above all gods.(C)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and the dry land, which his hands have formed.(D)
6 O come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!(E)
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!(F)
8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,(G)
9 when your ancestors tested me
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.(H)
10 For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not regard my ways.”(I)
11 Therefore in my anger I swore,
“They shall not enter my rest.”(J)
