[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.’”
