Psalm 95
Venite, exultemus
The Book of Common Prayer (1979) · 11 verses
- 1
Come, let us sing to the LORD; *
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. - 2
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. - 3
For the LORD is a great God, *
and a great King above all gods. - 4
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are his also. - 5
The sea is his, for he made it, *
and his hands have molded the dry land. - 6
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
and kneel before the LORD our Maker. - 7
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice! - 8
Harden not your hearts, as your forebears did in the wilderness, *
at Meribah, and on that day at Massah, when they tempted me. - 9
They put me to the test, *
though they had seen my works. - 10
Forty years long I detested that generation and said, *
"This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways." - 11
So I swore in my wrath, *
"They shall not enter into my rest."
