Psalm 95

O come, let us joyfully sing to the LORD;

To the Rock of salvation let us raise our voice.

Let us come before him expressing our thanks;

Let us with loud singing praise him and rejoice.

The LORD is the great God, King over all gods.

The earth’s deepest places he holds in his hand;

The heights of the mountains belong to the LORD.

The oceans are his, and he formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow humbly and worship the LORD;

Let us kneel before him, our Maker, in prayer.

For we are his people and he is our God;

He shepherds and feeds us in his loving care.

Today if you hear and attend to his voice,

Don’t harden your hearts as you did on the way;

In Meribah’s desert you quarrelled with me,

You tested my patience at Massah that day.

Your fathers provoked me and tested me there,

Although they had witnessed the works I had done.

With that generation for forty long years

My deep indignation continued to burn.

I said, “They’re a people whose hearts go astray;

They do not acknowledge that my ways are best.”

And so, in my anger, I stated on oath,

“I swear that they never shall enter my rest.”
