Psalm 95[a]

A Call to Praise and Obedience

I

Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord;
    cry out to the rock of our salvation.(A)
Let us come before him with a song of praise,
    joyfully sing out our psalms.
For the Lord is the great God,
    the great king over all gods,(B)

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 95 Twice the Psalm calls the people to praise and worship God (Ps 95:1–2, 6), the king of all creatures (Ps 95:3–5) and shepherd of the flock (Ps 95:7a, 7b). The last strophe warns the people to be more faithful than were their ancestors in the journey to the promised land (Ps 95:7c–11). This invitation to praise God regularly opens the Church’s official prayer, the Liturgy of the Hours.
