Psalms 95
Psalm for daily use
1 Come, let us praise Yahweh joyfully, acclaiming the Rock of our safety;
2 let us come into his presence with thanksgiving, acclaiming him with music.
3 For Yahweh is a great God, a greater King than all other gods;
4 from depths of earth to mountain top everything comes under his rule;
5 the sea belongs to him, he made it, so does the land, he shaped this too.
6 Come in, let us bow, prostrate ourselves, and kneel in front of Yahweh our maker,
7 for this is our God, and we are the people he pastures, the flock that he guides. If only you would listen to him today,
8 ‘Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,[*a]
9 when your ancestors challenged me, tested me, although they had seen what I could do.
10 ‘For forty years that generation repelled me, until I said: How unreliable these people who refuse to grasp my ways!
11 And so, in anger, I swore that not one would reach the place of rest I had for them.’
