Psalm 95 - A Call to Worship and a Warning
Tap a verse to highlight it

1 O come, let us sing to Jehovah. Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let us make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

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

4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

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

6 O come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before Jehovah our maker.

7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, O that ye would hear his voice!

8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, as the day of trial in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers challenged me, proved me, and saw my work.

10 Forty years long I was grieved with that generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways.

11 Therefore I swore in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
