Psalms 95

Psalm 95

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;
    let us shout aloud to the RockLet us come before him with thanksgiving
    and extol him with music and song.

3 For the Lord is the great God,
    the great King above all gods.In his hand are the depths of the earth,
    and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
    and his hands formed the dry land.Come, let us bow down in worship,
    let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,
    as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,where your ancestors tested me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
    and they have not known my ways.’So I declared on oath in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”

(1)(95:8) Meribah means quarreling.
(2)(95:8) Massah means testing.
