Psalms 95
95
1-2Come, let’s shout praises to God,
raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
Let’s march into his presence singing praises,
lifting the rafters with our hymns!
3-5And why? Because God is the best,
High King over all the gods.
In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns,
in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
He made Ocean—he owns it!
His hands sculpted Earth!
6-7a So come, let us worship: bow before him,
on your knees before God, who made us!
Oh yes, he’s our God,
and we’re the people he pastures, the flock he feeds.
7b-11 Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:
“Don’t turn a deaf ear as in the Bitter Uprising,
As on the day of the Wilderness Test,
when your ancestors turned and put me to the test.
For forty years they watched me at work among them,
as over and over they tried my patience.
And I was provoked—oh, was I provoked!
‘Can’t they keep their minds on God for five minutes?
Do they simply refuse to walk down my road?’
Exasperated, I exploded,
‘They’ll never get where they’re headed,
never be able to sit down and rest.’”

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!’ ”
