PSALM 95
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1O come, let us sing to the Lord:
come, let us ev'ry one
A joyful noise make to the Rock
of our salvation.
2Let us before his presence come
with praise and thankful voice;
Let us sing psalms to him with grace,
and make a joyful noise.
3For God, a great God, and great King,
above all gods he is.
4Depths of the earth are in his hand,
the strength of hills is his.
5To him the spacious sea belongs,
for he the same did make;
The dry land also from his hands
its form at first did take.
6O come, and let us worship him,
let us bow down withal,
And on our knees before the Lord
our Maker let us fall.
7For he's our God, the people we
of his own pasture are,
And of his hand the sheep; to-day,
if ye his voice will hear,
8Then harden not your hearts, as in
the provocation,
As in the desert, on the day
of the tentation:
9When me your fathers tempt'd and prov'd,
and did my working see;
10Ev'n for the space of forty years
this race hath grieved me.
I said, This people errs in heart,
my ways they do not know:
11To whom I sware in wrath, that to
my rest they should not go.

Psalms 95
95
1-2Come, let’s shout praises to God,
raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
Let’s march into his presence singing praises,
lifting the rafters with our hymns!
3-5And why? Because God is the best,
High King over all the gods.
In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns,
in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
He made Ocean—he owns it!
His hands sculpted Earth!
6-7a So come, let us worship: bow before him,
on your knees before God, who made us!
Oh yes, he’s our God,
and we’re the people he pastures, the flock he feeds.
7b-11 Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:
“Don’t turn a deaf ear as in the Bitter Uprising,
As on the day of the Wilderness Test,
when your ancestors turned and put me to the test.
For forty years they watched me at work among them,
as over and over they tried my patience.
And I was provoked—oh, was I provoked!
‘Can’t they keep their minds on God for five minutes?
Do they simply refuse to walk down my road?’
Exasperated, I exploded,
‘They’ll never get where they’re headed,
never be able to sit down and rest.’”
