Psalm 95

A Call to Praise and Obedience

I
Come, let us sing joyfully to the LORD;
cry out to the rock of our salvation.
Let us greet him with a song of praise,
joyfully sing out our psalms.
For the LORD is the great God,
the great king over all gods,
Whose hand holds the depths of the earth;
who owns the tops of the mountains.
The sea and dry land belong to God,
who made them, formed them by hand.


II
Enter, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
For this is our God,
whose people we are,
God's well-tended flock.


III
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:
Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on the day of Massah in the desert.
There your ancestors tested me;
they tried me though they had seen my works.
Forty years I loathed that generation;
I said: "This people's heart goes astray;
they do not know my ways."
Therefore I swore in my anger:
"They shall never enter my rest."
