Psalm 95

Worship and Warning

Come, let us shout joyfully to the Lord,
shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!(A)
Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;
let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.(B)

For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.(C)
The depths of the earth are in His hand,
and the mountain peaks are His.(D)
The sea is His; He made it.
His hands formed the dry land.(E)

Come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.(F)
For He is our God,
and we are the people of His pasture,
the sheep under His care.[a](G)

Today, if you hear His voice:(H)
Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness(I)
where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.(J)
10 For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray;
they do not know My ways.”(K)
11 So I swore in My anger,
“They will not enter My rest.”(L)

Psalm 96(M)

King of the Earth

Sing a new song to the Lord;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.(N)
Sing to Yahweh, praise His name;
proclaim His salvation from day to day.(O)
Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonderful works among all peoples.(P)

For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
He is feared above all gods.(Q)
For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.(R)
Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.(S)

Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.(T)
Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;(U)
bring an offering and enter His courts.(V)
Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;(W)
tremble before Him, all the earth.(X)

10 Say among the nations: “The Lord reigns.(Y)
The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.(Z)
He judges the peoples fairly.”(AA)
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and all that fills it resound.(AB)
12 Let the fields and everything in them exult.
Then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy(AC)
13 before the Lord, for He is coming—
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with His faithfulness.(AD)
