95 Oh come, let’s sing to Yahweh.
    Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving.
    Let’s extol him with songs!
For Yahweh is a great God,
    a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.
    The heights of the mountains are also his.
The sea is his, and he made it.
    His hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let’s worship and bow down.
    Let’s kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
    for he is our God.
We are the people of his pasture,
    and the sheep in his care.
Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
    Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah,
    as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
when your fathers tempted me,
    tested me, and saw my work.
10 Forty long years I was grieved with that generation,
    and said, “It is a people that errs in their heart.
    They have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
    “They won’t enter into my rest.”

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.”
