Psalm 95

Venite, exultemus

1
Come, let us sing to the LORD ;
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
2
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
3
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the caverns of the earth,
and the heights of the hills are his also.
5
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands have molded the dry land.
6
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee,
and 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.
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
8
Harden not your hearts, as your forebears did in the wilderness,
at Meribah, and on that day at Massah, when they tempted me.
9
They put me to the test,
though they had seen my works.
10
Forty years long I detested that generation and said,
"This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways."
11
So I swore in my wrath,
"They shall not enter into my rest."
