1 Come, let us sing praise to the LORD!
Let us shout praises to the Rock who saves us.
2 Come and worship him with songs of thanks.*
Let us sing happy songs of praise to him.
3 For the LORD is a great God,
the great King ruling over all the other “gods.”
4 The deepest caves and the highest mountains belong to him.
5 The ocean is his—he created it.
He made the dry land with his own hands.
6 Come, let us bow down and worship him!
Let us kneel before the LORD who made us.
7 He is our God,
and we are the people he cares for,
his sheep that walk by his side.
Listen to his voice today:
8 “Don’t be stubborn, as you were at Meribah,
as you were at Massah† in the desert.
9 Your ancestors doubted and tested me,
even after they saw what I could do!
10 I was angry with them for 40 years.
I said, ‘They are not faithful to me.
They refuse to do what I say.’
11 So in my anger I made this vow:
‘They will never enter my land of rest.’ ”
* 95:2 songs of thanks Or “thank offerings.” † 95:8 Meribah … Massah See Exodus 17:1-7.
