Psalm 95

Contemporary English Version

³ The Lord is the greatest God,
    king over all other gods.
⁴ He holds the deepest part
    of the earth in his hands,
and the mountain peaks
    also belong to him.
⁵ The ocean is the Lord's
    because he made it,
and with his own hands
    he formed the dry land.

⁶ Bow down and worship
    the Lord our Creator!
^7 (A)(B) The Lord is our God,
    and we are his people,
the sheep he takes care of
    in his own pasture.

Listen to God's voice today!
^8 (C) Don't be stubborn and rebel
    as your ancestors did
at Meribah and Massah^[b]
    out in the desert.
⁹ For forty years
they tested God and saw
    the things he did.
¹⁰ Then God got tired of them
    and said,
“You never show good sense,
and you don't understand
    what I want you to do.”
^11 (D) In his anger, God told them,
“You people will never enter
    my place of rest.”
