95:1 Come! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord!

Let’s shout out praises to our protector who delivers us! ² 

95:2 Let’s enter his presence ³  with thanksgiving!

Let’s shout out to him in celebration! ⁴ 

95:3 For the Lord is a great God,

a great king who is superior to ⁵  all gods.

95:4 The depths of the earth are in his hand, ⁶ 

and the mountain peaks belong to him.

95:5 The sea is his, for he made it.

His hands formed the dry land.

95:6 Come! Let’s bow down and worship! ⁷ 

Let’s kneel before the Lord, our creator!

95:7 For he is our God;

we are the people of his pasture,

the sheep he owns. ⁸ 

Today, if only you would obey him! ⁹ 

95:8 He says, ¹⁰  “Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, ¹¹ 

like they were that day at Massah ¹²  in the wilderness, ¹³ 

95:9 where your ancestors challenged my authority, ¹⁴ 

and tried my patience, even though they had seen my work.

95:10 For forty years I was continually disgusted ¹⁵  with that generation,

and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray; ¹⁶ 

they do not obey my commands.’ ¹⁷ 

95:11 So I made a vow in my anger,

‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’” ¹⁸
