Psalm 95 1 Come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our
salvation. 2 Let us come to him with
thanksgiving. Let us sing psalms of praise
to him. 3 For the Lord is a great God, a
great King above all gods. 4 He holds in his
hands the depths of the earth and the
mightiest mountains. 5 The sea belongs to him,
for he made it. His hands formed the dry
land, too. 6 Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,
7 for he is our God. We are the people he
watches over, the flock under his care.

WHO should worship? WHO are we to worship? WHY
should we worship Him? HOW are we to worship
Him?

If only you would listen to his voice today! 8
The Lord says, Dont harden your hearts as
Israel did at Meribah, as they did at
Massah in the wilderness. 9 For there your
ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw everything I did. 10 For
forty years I was angry with them, and I said,
They are a people whose hearts turn away from
me. They refuse to do what I tell them.
11 So in my anger I took an oath They
will never enter my place of rest.
