Psalm 95 – 96 (EHV)

See series: Through My Bible

¹ Come, let us sing joyfully to the Lord.
Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us.
² Let us approach his presence with thanksgiving.
With music we will shout to him.
³ For the Lord is the great God
and the great King above all gods.
⁴ He holds the unexplored places of the earth in his hand,
and the peaks of the mountains belong to him.
⁵ The sea belongs to him, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Come, let us bow down. Let us revere him.
Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker,
⁷ for he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture
and the flock in his hand.

Today, if you hear his voice,
⁸ do not harden your hearts as they did at Meribah,
as they did that day at Massah in the wilderness,
⁹ where your fathers challenged me
and tested me though they had seen what I had done.
¹⁰ For forty years I was disgusted with that generation,
and I said, “They are a people who have hearts that stray.
They do not acknowledge my ways.”
¹¹ So I swore in my anger,
“They shall never enter my resting place.”

¹ Sing to the Lord a new song.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
² Sing to the Lord. Praise his name.
Proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.
³ Tell about his glory among the nations,
about his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

⁴ For great is the Lord and worthy of great praise.
He is to be feared above all gods.
⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are “nothings,” ^[1]
but the Lord made the heavens.
⁶ Splendor and majesty are before him.
Power and beauty are in his sanctuary.
⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, families of peoples,
Ascribe to the Lord glory and power.
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name.
Bring a gift and come into his courtyards.
⁹ Bow down to the Lord in the splendor of his holiness. ^[2]
Look away from his face, ^[3] all the earth.

¹⁰ Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.”
The world is firmly established.
It will not be moved.
He will judge the peoples with fairness.

¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice.
Let the earth celebrate.
Let the sea roar,
and all that fills it.
¹² Let the fields be overjoyed,
and everything that is in them.
Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
¹³     before the Lord, for he comes,
    for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
