Psalms 95

1Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

1Come, let us sing to the LORD; let us shout joyfully to the Rock who saves us.

2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.

2Let us come before him with thanks; let us shout happily to him with songs of praise.

3For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.

3For the LORD is a great God, a great King who is over all other gods.

4In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.

4He holds the deepest parts of the earth in his hand, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

5The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.

5The sea belongs to him because he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

6Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:

6Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

7For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

7For he is our God, and we are the people he cares for, like sheep in his own hand. If only you would listen to his voice today!

8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;

8Do not be stubborn like the people were at Meribah, or like that day at Massah in the desert.

9When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.

9Your ancestors tested me and tried me, even though they had seen what I did for them.

10Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:

10For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, 'They are a people whose hearts wander, and they do not understand my ways.'

11Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest.

11So I declared an oath in my anger: 'They will never enter the place of rest I had for them.'
