Psalms 95
The psalmist calls for joyful praise and worship of the Lord, acknowledging His greatness and power over all creation. The people are urged to adore and humble themselves before God, who is their shepherd. However, the psalmist also warns against hardening their hearts, referencing the Israelites' disobedience in the wilderness, which resulted in God's wrath and their exclusion from His rest.
The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our SaviorLet us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalmsFor the Lord is a great God and a great King over all godsFor in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are hisFor the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry landCome, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made usFor he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his handIf today you hear his voice, harden not your heartsas in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my worksFor forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heartAnd these have not known my ways. So I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest
