Chapter 95

95:1Come, let us shout joyfully to the Lord,
shout triumphantly to the rock of our salvation!
2Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving;
let us shout triumphantly to Him in song.
3For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
4The depths of the earth are in His hand,
and the mountain peaks are His.
5The sea is His; He made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
6Come, 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,
the sheep under His care.
Today, if you hear His voice:
8Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah,
as on that day at Massah in the wilderness
9where your fathers tested Me;
they tried Me, though they had seen what I did.
10For 40 years I was disgusted with that generation;
I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray;
they do not know My ways."
11So I swore in My anger,
"They will not enter My rest."

Chapter 96

96:1Sing a new song to the Lord;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2Sing to Yahweh, praise His name;
proclaim His salvation from day to day.
3Declare His glory among the nations,
His wonderful works among all peoples.
4For the Lord is great and is highly praised;
He is feared above all gods.
5For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6Splendor and majesty are before Him;
strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;
bring an offering and enter His courts.
9Worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness;
tremble before Him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations: "The Lord reigns.
The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken.
He judges the peoples fairly."
11Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;
let the sea and all that fills it resound.
12Let the fields and everything in them exult.
Then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy
13before the Lord, for He is coming-
for He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness
and the peoples with His faithfulness.
