Psalm 95

Come, let us sing with joy to Jehovah.
Let us shout to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with thanksgiving
And praise him in songs of exultation.

For Jehovah is a great god,
The great king above all other gods.
The depths of the earth are in his hand,
And the mountain peaks are his as well.
The sea is his, for he made it,
And his hands fashioned the dry land.
Come let us bow down in worship,
Kneel before Jehovah our maker,
For he, Jehovah, is our god,
And we the people of his pasture,
The sheep that are under his charge.

Today, if only we could hear his voice, —
“Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah,
On that day in the desert at Massah,
Where you ancestors tested and tried me,
Although they had already seen my works.
With that generation I was angry
For forty years.  I said to myself of them,
‘They are a people whose hearts have gone astray.
They have not been obedient to my ways.’
And so in my anger I made a vow,
‘They shall never enter my place of repose!”
