Psalms 95

Come, let us bow down in worship

Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!a 2Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.b 3For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.c

4In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. 5The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. 6O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.d

7For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,e 8do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,f 9where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.” 11So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”g
