诗篇 95
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
赞美上帝之歌
95 来吧，让我们向耶和华歌唱，
向拯救我们的磐石欢呼。
2 让我们怀着感恩的心来到祂面前，
向祂高唱赞美诗。
3 因为耶和华是伟大的上帝，
是众神明之上的大君王。
4 祂掌管地的深处，
祂拥有山的高峰。
5 海洋属于祂，是祂创造的，
陆地也是祂造的。
6 来吧，让我们俯伏敬拜，
在创造我们的耶和华面前跪下。
7 因为祂是我们的上帝，
我们是祂照管的子民，
是祂牧放的羊群。
你们今日若听见祂的声音，
8 不可像你们祖先在米利巴，
在旷野的玛撒那样心里顽固。
9 耶和华说：“虽然他们见过我的作为，
却仍然试探我。
10 所以，我憎恶他们四十年之久，
我说，‘他们偏离正路，不遵行我的命令。’
11 因此我在怒中起誓说，
‘他们绝不可进入我的安息！’”
Psalm 95
EasyEnglish Bible
Worship God and obey him[a]
95 Come now! Let us sing together to worship the Lord!
We will shout aloud
to praise God, the strong Rock who makes us safe!
2 Let us come near to God
and thank him![b]
Let us sing songs to praise him,
because we are so happy!
3 Yes, the Lord is the great God.
He is the great king who rules over all gods.
4 The deepest places of the earth are in his hand.
The highest mountains belong to him.
5 The seas are his,
because he made them.
He also made the dry land,
with his own hands.
6 Come now! Let us bend down to worship him!
Let us bend our knees in front of the Lord.
He is the one who made us.
7 He is our God.
He takes care of us,
like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.[c]
As his sheep, he gives us what we need.
Today, you must listen to him
and obey him.
8 He says, ‘Do not refuse to obey me,
like my people did at Meribah.
They also did that one day at Massah,
in the desert.
9 Your ancestors tested me there,
to see if I would punish them.
But they had already seen the great things
that I had done for them!
10 So I was angry with those people
all the time for 40 years.
I said, “These people love to go the wrong way.
They refuse to follow my ways.”
11 I was very angry and I promised,
“They will never come into my place of rest.” ’[d]
Footnotes
- 95:1 This psalm says that it is not enough just to sing to God. We must also listen to him and obey him. Then we will not make the same mistake as God's people at Massah and Meribah. This is the second ‘Royal Psalm.’ See Psalms 93:1.
- 95:2 The writer asks people to come with him to the Temple in Jerusalem to praise the Lord.
- 95:7 As God's people, we are like his sheep and he is our shepherd who takes care of us. See Psalms 23:1 and John 10:14.
- 95:11 See Exodus 17:1-7; Numbers 20:1-13 and Psalms 81:7; 106:32. The Israelites travelled for 40 years in the desert before they went into Canaan, the special land that God had promised to give to them. God gave them food and water in the desert, but they continued to complain. As a result, God let them die in the desert, and only their children went into Canaan.
