Psalms 95

1Come, let us sing aloud to Jehovah, let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation; 2Let us come before his face with thanksgiving; let us shout aloud unto him with psalms. 3For Jehovah is a greatGod, and a great king above allgods. 4In his hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also: 5The sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry [land]. 6Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker. 7For he is ourGod; and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye hear his voice, 8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as [in] the day of Massah, in the wilderness; 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10Forty years was I grieved with the generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways; 11So that I swore in mine anger, that they should not enter into my rest.
