Psalm 95

GOD’S WORD Translation

95 Come, let’s sing joyfully to the Lord.
Let’s shout happily to the rock of our salvation.
² Let’s come into his presence with a song of thanksgiving.
Let’s shout happily to him with psalms.
³ The Lord is a great God and a great king above all gods.
⁴ In his hand are the deep places of the earth,
and the mountain peaks are his.
⁵ The sea is his.
He made it, and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come, let’s worship and bow down.
Let’s kneel in front of the Lord, our maker,
⁷ because he is our God
and we are the people in his care,
the flock that he leads.

If only you would listen to him today!
⁸ “Do not be stubborn like ⌞my people were⌟ at Meribah,
like the time at Massah in the desert.
⁹ Your ancestors challenged me and tested me there,
although they had seen what I had done.
¹⁰ For 40 years I was disgusted with those people.
So I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts continue to stray.
They have not learned my ways.’
¹¹ That is why I angrily took this solemn oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest!’ ”
