95 Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh.
    Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving.
    Let’s extol him with songs!
For Yahweh is a great God,
    a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.
    The heights of the mountains are also his.
The sea is his, and he made it.
    His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let’s worship and bow down.
    Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
    for he is our God.
We are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep in his care.
Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
    Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah,
    as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers tempted me,
    tested me, and saw my work.
10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation,
    and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart.
    They have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
    “They won’t enter into my rest.”

Psalm 95

Come,(A) let us sing for joy(B) to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud(C) to the Rock(D) of our salvation.
Let us come before him(E) with thanksgiving(F)
    and extol him with music(G) and song.

For the Lord is the great God,(H)
    the great King(I) above all gods.(J)
In his hand are the depths of the earth,(K)
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.(L)

Come, let us bow down(M) in worship,(N)
    let us kneel(O) before the Lord our Maker;(P)
for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,(Q)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
“Do not harden your hearts(R) as you did at Meribah,[a](S)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(T)
where your ancestors tested(U) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(V) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(W)
    and they have not known my ways.’(X)
11 So I declared on oath(Y) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(Z)
