Psalm 95

1

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

3

For the LORD is the great God, the great King above all gods.

4

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

5

The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

6

Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

7

for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if you hear his voice,

8

do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, ^[1] as you did that day at Massah ^[2] in the desert,

9

where your fathers tested and tried me, though they had seen what I did.

10

For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways."

11

So I declared on oath in my anger, "They shall never enter my rest."

1. [8] Meribah means quarreling.
2. [8] Massah means testing.
