Let Us Kneel Before Yahweh Our Maker

95 Oh come, let us (A)sing for joy to Yahweh,
Let us make a loud shout to (B)the rock of our salvation.
Let us (C)come before His presence (D)with [a]thanksgiving,
Let us make a loud shout to Him (E)with songs of praise.
For Yahweh is a (F)great God
And a great King (G)above all gods,
In whose hand are the (H)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
[b]The sea is His, for it was He (I)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us (J)worship and bow down,
Let us (K)kneel before Yahweh our (L)Maker.
For He is our God,
And (M)we are the people of His (N)pasture and the sheep of His hand.
(O)Today, [c]if you hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as at [d](P)Meribah,
As in the day of [e](Q)Massah in the wilderness,
“When your fathers (R)tried Me,
They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
10 For (S)forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who wander in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
11 Therefore I (T)swore in My anger,
They shall never enter into My (U)rest.”

Worship and Warning

Worship

Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord.
Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.
Let us approach his presence with thanksgiving.
With music we will shout to him.
For the Lord is the great God
and the great King above all gods.
He holds the unexplored places of the earth in his hand,
and the peaks of the mountains belong to him.
The sea belongs to him, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow down. Let us revere him.
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker,
for he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture
and the flock in his hand.

Warning

Today, if you hear his voice,
do not harden your hearts as they did at Meribah,
as they did that day at Massah in the wilderness,
where your fathers challenged me
and tested me though they had seen what I had done.
10 For forty years I was disgusted with that generation,
and I said, “They are a people who have hearts that stray.
They do not acknowledge my ways.”
11 So I swore in my anger,
“They shall never enter my resting place.”
