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.” ’

Let Us Sing Songs of Praise

1 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! 2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise! 3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 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. 6 Oh 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. Today, if you hear his voice, 8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, 9 when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. 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.” 11 Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They shall not enter my rest.”
