Psalm 95: Translation and Notes

Narrator: Chris Genthree
Psalm 95
1 Come, let us sing aloud to Jehovah, let us shout for joy to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before his face with thanksgiving, let us shout aloud to him with psalms.
3 For Jehovah [is] a great God (El), and a great king above all gods.
4 In his hand [are] the deep places of the earth, and the strength of mountains [is] his;
5 Whose [is] the sea, and he made it; and his hands formed the dry [land].
6 Come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker;
7 For he [is] our God and we people of his pasture and sheep of his hand. Today if ye hear his voice,
8 Harden not your heart like Meribah, like the day of Massah in the wilderness;
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10 Forty years long was I disgusted with the generation and said, A people erring in heart [are] they, and they have not known my ways,
11 To whom I swore in mine anger that they shall not come into my rest.
Notes on Psalm 95
It will be noticed how Jehovah is worshipped as the Creator but the God of Israel; then a warning is given from the unbelief of their fathers in the wilderness. Their failure from of old will not debar them from His rest tomorrow, only unbelief today.
