95 Come, let us sing praise to the Lord!
    Let us shout praises to the Rock who saves us.
Come and worship him with songs of thanks.[a]
    Let us sing happy songs of praise to him.
For the Lord is a great God,
    the great King ruling over all the other “gods.”
The deepest caves and the highest mountains belong to him.
The ocean is his—he created it.
    He made the dry land with his own hands.
Come, let us bow down and worship him!
    Let us kneel before the Lord who made us.
He is our God,
    and we are the people he cares for,
    his sheep that walk by his side.

Listen to his voice today:
    “Don’t be stubborn, as you were at Meribah,
    as you were at Massah[b] in the desert.
Your ancestors doubted and tested me,
    even after they saw what I could do!
10 I was angry with them for 40 years.
    I said, ‘They are not faithful to me.
    They refuse to do what I say.’
11 So in my anger I made this vow:
    ‘They will never enter my land of 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)
