95:1 Come, let us praise the LORD! Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us! |
95:2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving and sing joyful songs of praise. |
95:3 For the LORD is a mighty God, a mighty king over all the gods. |
95:4 He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest caves to the highest hills. |
95:5 He rules over the sea, which he made; the land also, which he himself formed. |
95:6 Come, let us bow down and worship him; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker! |
95:7 He is our God; we are the people he cares for, the flock for which he provides. Listen today to what he says: |
95:8 "Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah, as they were that day in the desert at Massah. |
95:9 There they put me to the test and tried me, although they had seen what I did for them. |
95:10 For forty years I was disgusted with those people. I said, 'How disloyal they are! They refuse to obey my commands.' |
95:11 I was angry and made a solemn promise: 'You will never enter the land where I would have given you rest.' " |
