Chapter 94Chapter 96

1Come, let us sing to the LORD!Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.

2Let us come to him with thanksgiving.Let us sing psalms of praise to him.

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

4He holds in his hands the depths of the earthand the mightiest mountains.

5The sea belongs to him, for he made it.His hands formed the dry land, too.

6Come, let us worship and bow down.Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,

7for he is our God.We are the people he watches over,the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today!

8The LORD says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah,as they did at Massah in the wilderness.

9For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience,even though they saw everything I did.

10For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.They refuse to do what I tell them.’

11So in my anger I took an oath:‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”
