Chapter 95 :

A Call to Worship and Obedience

1 O come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

3 For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.

5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and the dry land, which his hands have formed.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down,
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!

7 For 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!

8 Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your ancestors tested me,
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they do not regard my ways.”

11 Therefore in my anger I swore,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
