Psalms 95
Chapter 95
Psalm 95
Worship and Warning
1 Come, let us shout joyfully to the
Lord
,
shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!(a)
2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;
let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.(b)
3 For the
Lord
is a great God,
a great King above all gods.(c)
4 The depths of the earth are in His hand,
and the mountain peaks are His.(d)
5 The sea is His; He made it.
His hands formed the dry land.(e)
6 Come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the
Lord
our Maker.(f)
7 For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture,
the sheep under His care.[a](g)
Today, if you hear His voice:(h)
8 Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness(i)
9 where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.(j)
10 For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;
I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray;
they do not know My ways."(k)
11 So I swore in My anger,
"They will not enter My rest."(l)

all the peoples see His glory.(g)

those who boast in idols, will be put to shame.(h)

because of Your judgments,
Lord
.(j)
9 For You,
Lord
,
are the Most High over all the earth;
You are exalted above all the gods.(k)
10 You who love the
Lord

He protects the lives of His godly ones;(m)
He rescues them from the power of the wicked.(n)

gladness for the upright in heart.(o)
12 Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,
and praise His holy name.[e](p)
