Psalm 95-96 New American Standard Bible

Praise to the Lord and Warning against Unbelief.

95 Come, let’s ^(A)sing for joy to the Lord,
Let’s shout joyfully to ^(B)the rock of our salvation.
²Let’s ^(C)come before His presence ^(D)with a song of thanksgiving,
Let’s shout joyfully to Him ^(E)in songs with instruments.
³For the Lord is a ^(F)great God
And a great King ^(G)above all gods,
⁴In whose hand are the ^(H)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are also His.
⁵^[a]The sea is His, for it was He ^(I)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.

⁶Come, let’s ^(J)worship and bow down,
Let’s ^(K)kneel before the Lord our ^(L)Maker.
⁷For He is our God,
And ^(M)we are the people of His ^[b]^(N)pasture and the sheep of His hand.
^(O)Today, ^[c]if you will hear His voice,
⁸Do not harden your hearts as at ^[d]^(P)Meribah,
As on the day of ^[e]^(Q)Massah in the wilderness,
⁹“When your fathers ^(R)put Me to the test,
They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
¹⁰For ^(S)forty years I was disgusted with that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
¹¹Therefore I ^(T)swore in My anger,
They certainly shall not enter My ^(U)rest.”

A Call to Worship the Lord the Righteous Judge.

96 ^(V)Sing to the Lord a ^(W)new song;
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
²Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
^(X)Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
³Tell of ^(Y)His glory among the nations,
His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
⁴For ^(Z)great is the Lord, and ^(AA)greatly to be praised;
He is to be ^(AB)feared ^(AC)above all gods.
⁵For ^(AD)all the gods of the peoples are ^[f]idols,
But ^(AE)the Lord made the heavens.
⁶^(AF)Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

⁷^[g]Ascribe to the Lord, you ^(AG)families of the peoples,
^[h]^(AH)Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
⁸^[i]Ascribe to the Lord the ^(AI)glory of His name;
Bring an ^[j]^(AJ)offering and come into His courtyards.
⁹^(AK)Worship the Lord in ^[k]holy attire;
^(AL)Tremble before Him, all the earth.
¹⁰Say among the nations, “^(AM)The Lord reigns;
Indeed, the ^(AN)world is firmly established, it will not be moved;
He will ^(AO)judge the peoples fairly.”

¹¹May the ^(AP)heavens be joyful, and may the ^(AQ)earth rejoice;
May ^(AR)the sea ^[l]roar, and ^[m]all it contains;
¹²May the ^(AS)field be jubilant, and all that is in it.
Then all the ^(AT)trees of the forest will sing for joy
¹³Before the Lord, ^(AU)for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
^(AV)He will judge the world in righteousness,
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
