Let Us Kneel Before Yahweh Our Maker

¹Oh come, let us sing for joy to Yahweh,

Let us make a loud shout to the rock of our salvation.

²Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving,[#95:2 Or a song of thanksgiving]

Let us make a loud shout to Him with songs of praise.

³For Yahweh is a great God

And a great King above all gods,

⁴In whose hand are the depths of the earth,

The peaks of the mountains are His also.

⁵The sea is His, for it was He who made it,[#95:5 Lit Who has the sea]

And His hands formed the dry land.

⁶¶Come, let us worship and bow down,

Let us kneel before Yahweh our Maker.

⁷For He is our God,

And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you hear His voice,

⁸Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,[#95:8 Or place of strife]

As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

⁹“When your fathers tried Me,

They tested Me, though they had seen My work.

¹⁰“For forty years I loathed that generation,

And said they are a people who wander in their heart,

And they do not know My ways.

¹¹“Therefore I swore in My anger,

They shall never enter into My rest.”
