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.

讚美上帝之歌
95 來吧，讓我們向耶和華歌唱，
向拯救我們的磐石歡呼。
2 讓我們懷著感恩的心來到祂面前，
向祂高唱讚美詩。
3 因為耶和華是偉大的上帝，
是眾神明之上的大君王。
4 祂掌管地的深處，
祂擁有山的高峰。
5 海洋屬於祂，是祂創造的，
陸地也是祂造的。
6 來吧，讓我們俯伏敬拜，
在創造我們的耶和華面前跪下。
7 因為祂是我們的上帝，
我們是祂照管的子民，
是祂牧放的羊群。
你們今日若聽見祂的聲音，
8 不可像你們祖先在米利巴，
在曠野的瑪撒那樣心裡頑固。
9 耶和華說：「雖然他們見過我的作為，
卻仍然試探我。
10 所以，我憎惡他們四十年之久，
我說，『他們偏離正路，不遵行我的命令。』
11 因此我在怒中起誓說，
『他們絕不可進入我的安息！』」

Psalm 95
1 Come,(A) let us sing for joy(B) to the Lord;
let us shout aloud(C) to the Rock(D) of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him(E) with thanksgiving(F)
and extol him with music(G) and song.
3 For the Lord is the great God,(H)
the great King(I) above all gods.(J)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,(K)
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.(L)
6 Come, let us bow down(M) in worship,(N)
let us kneel(O) before the Lord our Maker;(P)
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,(Q)
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts(R) as you did at Meribah,[a](S)
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(T)
9 where your ancestors tested(U) me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(V) I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(W)
and they have not known my ways.’(X)
11 So I declared on oath(Y) in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(Z)

A Call to Worship and Obedience
95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with (A)psalms.
3 For (B)the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
4 [a]In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
5 (C)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 (D)us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7 For He is our God,
And (E)we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep [b]of His hand.
(F)Today, if you will hear His voice:
8 “Do not harden your hearts, as in the [c]rebellion,
(G)As in the day of [d]trial in the wilderness,
9 When (H)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they (I)saw My work.
10 For (J)forty years I was [e]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
11 So (K)I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
