Chapter 94Chapter 96

1O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. <sup>come: Heb. prevent his face</sup>

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

4In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. <sup>In: Heb. In whose</sup> <sup>the strength: or, the heights of the hills are his</sup>

5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. <sup>The sea: Heb. Whose the sea is</sup>

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

7For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: <sup>provocation: Heb. contention</sup>

9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

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

11Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest. <sup>that: Heb. if they enter into my rest</sup>
