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.

Let Us Sing Songs of Praise
1Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us #See Ps. 66:1 make a joyful noise to #Ps. 89:26; [Ps. 94:22]the rock of our salvation!
2Let us #Mic. 6:6 come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us #[See ver. 1 above]make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3For the Lord is #Ps. 93:4; 135:5 a great God,
and a great King #Ps. 86:8; 96:4; 97:9; 2 Chr. 2:5above all gods.
4In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5The sea is his, for #Gen. 1:9, 10; Jonah 1:9he made it,
and his hands formed #Gen. 1:9, 10; Jonah 1:9the dry land.
6Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us #2 Chr. 6:13; Dan. 6:10 kneel before the Lord, our #Ps. 100:3; 149:2; Deut. 32:6, 15, 18Maker!
7For he is our #Ps. 48:14 God,
and we are the people of his #See Ps. 74:1 pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
# Cited Heb. 3:7-11, 15; 4:7 Today, if you #Num. 14:22hear his voice,
8 #
Ex. 9:34; 1 Sam. 6:6; 2 Chr. 36:13; Prov. 28:14 do not harden your hearts, as at #Ex. 17:7; Num. 20:13 Meribah,
as on the day at #Ex. 17:7; Deut. 6:16Massah in the wilderness,
9when your fathers put me to the #1 Cor. 10:9; [Ps. 78:18, 41, 56] test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my #See Ps. 90:16; [Num. 14:22]work.
10 #
Acts 7:36; 13:18; Heb. 3:17; [Deut. 9:7] For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known #[Ps. 81:13]my ways.”
11Therefore I #Num. 14:23, 28, 30; Deut. 1:35; Cited Heb. 3:11; 4:3, 5 swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter #Deut. 12:9my rest.”
