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

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!

2 Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.

3 For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

4 In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.

5 The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.

7 For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,

8 do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10 For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”

11 So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”
