Psalm 95
1Come, let’s sing joyfully to the Lord.
Let’s shout happily to the rock of our salvation.
2Let’s come into his presence with a song of thanksgiving.
Let’s shout happily to him with psalms.
3The Lord is a great God and a great king above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth,
and the mountain peaks are his.
5The sea is his.
He made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6Come, let’s worship and bow down.
Let’s kneel in front of the Lord, our maker,
7because he is our God
and we are the people in his care,
the flock that he leads.
If only you would listen to him today!
8“Do not be stubborn like ⌞my people were⌟ at Meribah,
like the time at Massah in the desert.
9Your ancestors challenged me and tested me there,
although they had seen what I had done.
10For 40 years I was disgusted with those people.
So I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts continue to stray.
They have not learned my ways.’
11That is why I angrily took this solemn oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest!’ ”

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.
