Psalms 95
95
A Call to Praise and Obedience
I
1Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
cry out to the rock of our salvation.#Dt 32:15.
2Let us come before him with a song of praise,
joyfully sing out our psalms.
3For the Lord is the great God,
the great king over all gods,#Ps 47:2; 135:5.
4Whose hand holds the depths of the earth;
who owns the tops of the mountains.
5The sea and dry land belong to God,
who made them, formed them by hand.#Ps 24:1–2.
II
6Enter, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the Lord who made us.
7For he is our God,
we are the people he shepherds,
the sheep in his hands.#Ps 81:8; 106:32; Heb 3:7–11, 15; 4:3, 5, 7.
III
Oh, that today you would hear his voice:#Ps 23:1–3; 100:3; Mi 7:14.
8Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on the day of Massah in the desert.#Meribah: lit., “contention”; the place where the Israelites quarreled with God. Massah: “testing,” the place where they put God to the trial, cf. Ex 17:7; Nm 20:13.
9There your ancestors tested me;
they tried me though they had seen my works.#Nm 14:22; 20:2–13; Dt 6:16; 33:8.
10Forty years I loathed that generation;
I said: “This people’s heart goes astray;
they do not know my ways.”#Ps 78:8; Nm 14:34; Dt 32:5.
11Therefore I swore in my anger:
“They shall never enter my rest.”#My rest: the promised land as in Dt 12:9. Heb 4 applies the verse to the eternal rest of heaven.

Psalm 95
1Come, let’s sing out loud to the LORD!
Let’s raise a joyful shout to the rock of our salvation!
2Let’s come before him with thanks!
Let’s shout songs of joy to him!
3The LORD is a great God,
the great king over all other gods.
4The earth’s depths are in his hands;
the mountain heights belong to him;
5the sea, which he made, is his
along with the dry ground,
which his own hands formed.
6Come, let’s worship and bow down!
Let’s kneel before the LORD, our maker!
7He is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep in his hands.
If only you would listen to his voice right now!
8“Don’t harden your hearts
like you did at Meribah,
like you did when you were at Massah,
in the wilderness,
9when your ancestors tested me
and scrutinized me,
even though they had already seen my acts.
10For forty years I despised that generation;
I said, ‘These people have twisted hearts.
They don’t know my ways.’
11So in anger I swore:
‘They will never enter my place of rest!’”
