Worship and Obedience

95 Come! Let us sing joyfully to the Lord!
    Let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us shout with songs of praise to him.

For the Lord is an awesome God;
    a great king above all divine beings.[a]
He holds in his hand the lowest parts of the earth
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea that he made belongs to him,
    along with the dry land that his hands formed.

Come! Let us worship and bow down;
    let us kneel in the presence of the Lord, who made us.
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture
    and the flock in his care.[b]
If only you would listen to his voice today,
do not be stubborn like your ancestors were[c] at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah, in the wilderness,
where your ancestors tested me.
They tested me,
    even though they had seen my awesome deeds.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation, so I said,
    “They are a people whose hearts continuously err,
        and they have not understood my ways.”
11 So in my anger I declared an oath:
    “They are not to enter my place of rest.”
