Psalm 95

A Call to Worship and Obedience

1O come, let us sing to the Lord;

let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!*

2Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!*

3For the Lord is a great God

and a great King above all gods.*

4In his hand are the depths of the earth;

the heights of the mountains are his also.

5The sea is his, for he made it,

and the dry land, which his hands have formed.*

6O come, let us worship and bow down;

let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!*

7For he is our God,

and we are the people of his pasture

and the sheep of his hand.

O that today you would listen to his voice!*

8Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,

as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,*

9when your ancestors tested me

and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.*

10For forty years I loathed that generation

and said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,

and they do not regard my ways.”*

11Therefore in my anger I swore,

“They shall not enter my rest.”*
