Psalm 95-96
New Life Version
A Song of Praise
95 Come, let us sing with joy to the Lord. Let us sing loud with joy to the rock Who saves us. 2 Let us come before Him giving thanks. Let us make a sound of joy to Him with songs. 3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4 The deep places of the earth are in His hand. And the tops of the mountains belong to Him. 5 The sea is His, for He made it. And His hands made the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship. Let us get down on our knees before the Lord Who made us. 7 For He is our God. And we are the people of His field, and the sheep of His hand. If you hear His voice today, 8 do not let your hearts become hard as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert. 9 Your early fathers put Me to the test and tried Me. But they had seen the work I did. 10 I was angry with the people of that day for forty years. I said, “They always think wrong thoughts. And they do not know My ways.” 11 I was angry with them and said, “They will never go into My rest.”
A Call to Worship the Lord
96 Sing to the Lord a new song. Let all the earth sing to the Lord. 2 Sing to the Lord. Honor His name. Make His saving power known from day to day. 3 Tell of His shining-greatness among the nations. Tell of His wonderful works among all the people. 4 For the Lord is great and should be given much praise. He is to be honored with fear above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are false gods. But the Lord made the heavens. 6 Honor and great power are with Him. Strength and beauty are in His holy place.
7 Give to the Lord, O families of the nations, give to the Lord the honor and strength that He should have. 8 Give to the Lord the honor of His name. Bring a gift and come into His holy place. 9 Worship the Lord in holy clothing. May all the earth shake in fear before Him. 10 Say among the nations that the Lord rules. The world is built to last. It will not be moved. He will be right when He says who is guilty or not.
11 Let the heavens be glad. And let the earth be full of joy. Let the sea and all that is in it make a loud noise. 12 Let the fields and all that is in them be full of joy. Then all the trees of the land will sing for joy 13 before the Lord. For He is coming. He is coming to say who is guilty or not on the earth. He will be right in what He decides about the world. And He will be faithful to the people.

1 Come,(A) let us sing for joy(B) to the Lord;
let us shout aloud(C) to the Rock(D) of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him(E) with thanksgiving(F)
and extol him with music(G) and song.
3 For the Lord is the great God,(H)
the great King(I) above all gods.(J)
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,(K)
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.(L)
6 Come, let us bow down(M) in worship,(N)
let us kneel(O) before the Lord our Maker;(P)
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,(Q)
the flock under his care.
Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts(R) as you did at Meribah,[a](S)
as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(T)
9 where your ancestors tested(U) me;
they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(V) I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(W)
and they have not known my ways.’(X)
11 So I declared on oath(Y) in my anger,
‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(Z)

his marvelous deeds(AG) among all peoples.
4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;(AH)
he is to be feared(AI) above all gods.(AJ)
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,(AK)
but the Lord made the heavens.(AL)
6 Splendor and majesty(AM) are before him;
strength and glory(AN) are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord,(AO) all you families of nations,(AP)
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering(AQ) and come into his courts.(AR)
9 Worship the Lord(AS) in the splendor of his[c] holiness;(AT)
tremble(AU) before him, all the earth.(AV)
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.(AW)”
The world is firmly established,(AX) it cannot be moved;(AY)
he will judge(AZ) the peoples with equity.(BA)
11 Let the heavens rejoice,(BB) let the earth be glad;(BC)
let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
let all the trees of the forest(BD) sing for joy.(BE)
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
he comes to judge(BF) the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness(BG)
and the peoples in his faithfulness.(BH)
