Psalm 95

King James Version

1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. 

3 For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. 

5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land . 

6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. 

7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways: 

11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

Psalm 95

New International Reader’s Version

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD. Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us. 

2 Let us come to him and give him thanks. Let us praise him with music and song. 

3 The LORD is the great God. He is the greatest King. He rules over all the gods. 

4 He owns the deepest parts of the earth. The mountain peaks belong to him. 

5 The ocean is his, because he made it. He formed the dry land with his hands. 

6 Come, let us bow down and worship him. Let us fall on our knees in front of the LORD our Maker. 

7 He is our God. We are the sheep belonging to his flock. We are the people he takes good care of. If only you would listen to his voice today. 

8 He says, ‘Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah. Don’t be stubborn as you were that day at Massah in the desert. 

9 There your people of long ago really tested me. They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them. 

10 For 40 years I was angry with them. I said, “Their hearts are always going astray. They do not know how I want them to live.” 

11 So when I was angry, I made a promise. I said, “They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.” ’
