Psalm 95 - Contemporary English Version (CEV)

Worship and Obey the Lord

1 Sing joyful songs to the Lord!
Praise the mighty rock[a]
where we are safe.
2 Come to worship him
with thankful hearts
and songs of praise.

3 The Lord is the greatest God,
king over all other gods.
4 He holds the deepest part
of the earth in his hands,
and the mountain peaks
also belong to him.
5 The ocean is the Lord's
because he made it,
and with his own hands
he formed the dry land.

6 Bow down and worship
the Lord our Creator!
7 (A)(B) The Lord is our God,
and we are his people,
the sheep he takes care of
in his own pasture.

Listen to God's voice today!
8 (C) Don't be stubborn and rebel
as your ancestors did
at Meribah and Massah[b]
out in the desert.
9 For forty years
they tested God and saw
the things he did.
10 Then God got tired of them
and said,
“You never show good sense,
and you don't understand
what I want you to do.”
11 (D) In his anger, God told them,
“You people will never enter
my place of rest.”
