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.” ’

Psalm 95

English Standard Version



1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! (Ps 66:1; Ps 89:26; Ps 94:22) 2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! (Ps 95:1; Mic 6:6) 3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. (2Ch 2:5; Ps 86:8; Ps 93:4; Ps 96:4; Ps 97:9; Ps 135:5) 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. 5 The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. (Ge 1:9; Jon 1:9) 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! (De 32:6; De 32:15; De 32:18; 2Ch 6:13; Ps 100:3; Ps 149:2; Da 6:10) 7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, (Nu 14:22; Ps 48:14; Ps 74:1; Heb 3:7; Heb 3:15; Heb 4:7) 8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, (Ex 9:34; Ex 17:7; Nu 20:13; De 6:16; 1Sa 6:6; 2Ch 36:13; Pr 28:14) 9 when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. (Nu 14:22; Ps 78:18; Ps 78:41; Ps 78:56; Ps 90:16; 1Co 10:9) 10 For forty years I loathed that generation and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways.” (De 9:7; Ps 81:13; Ac 7:36; Ac 13:18; Heb 3:17) 11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter my rest.” (Nu 14:23; Nu 14:28; Nu 14:30; De 1:35; De 12:9; Heb 3:11; Heb 4:3; Heb 4:5)
