Psalm 95
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Psalm 95
A Call to Worship and Obedience
1 O come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!(A)
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!(B)
3 For the Lord is a great God
and a great King above all gods.(C)
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 the dry land, which his hands have formed.(D)
6 O come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!(E)
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would listen to his voice!(F)
8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,(G)
9 when your ancestors tested me
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.(H)
10 For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not regard my ways.”(I)
11 Therefore in my anger I swore,
“They shall not enter my rest.”(J)
Psalm 95
Common English Bible
Psalm 95
95 Come, let’s sing out loud to the Lord!
Let’s raise a joyful shout to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let’s come before him with thanks!
Let’s shout songs of joy to him!
3 The Lord is a great God,
the great king over all other gods.
4 The earth’s depths are in his hands;
the mountain heights belong to him;
5 the sea, which he made, is his
along with the dry ground,
which his own hands formed.
6 Come, let’s worship and bow down!
Let’s kneel before the Lord, our maker!
7 He is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep in his hands.
If only you would listen to his voice right now!
8 “Don’t harden your hearts
like you did at Meribah,
like you did when you were at Massah,
in the wilderness,
9 when your ancestors tested me
and scrutinized me,
even though they had already seen my acts.
10 For forty years I despised that generation;
I said, ‘These people have twisted hearts.
They don’t know my ways.’
11 So in anger I swore:
‘They will never enter my place of rest!’”
