Psalm 95:1-96:13

Psalm 95 1Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD ; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

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

4In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him.

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

6Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

7for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice,

8“Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, Meribah means quarreling. as you did that day at Massah Massah means testing. in the wilderness,

9where your ancestors tested me; they tried me, though they had seen what I did.

10For forty years I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known my ways.’ 11So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

Psalm 96 1Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

4For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

6Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

7Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.

9Worship the LORD in the splendor of his Or Lord with the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.

11Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.

12Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy. 13Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.
