Psalm 95

David Koyzis ©

1. Come, praise the Lord and be joyful,
   Acclaiming our salvation's Rock,
   And come before Him with thanksgiving.
   Praise Him with jubilant music,
   For God is King above all gods;
   His rule is over all creation.
   
2. He holds earth's depths in His own hand;
   The mountain peaks above our heads
   Belong to him, for He has made them.
   The restless sea He created,
   And all the land below our feet
   Our gracious God has wisely fashioned.
   
3. Come, let us bow down before Him
   And kneel before the mighty God,
   Who is our Maker and Sustainer.
   For God alone is our Father;
   We are the people whom He guides,
   The flock that He for ever pastures.
   
4. If only you would attend Him:
   "O harden not your stubborn hearts
   As once you did within the desert.
   That day your unfaithful forbears
   Rebelled and put Me to the test,
   Though they had seen My many wonders.
   
5. "Through forty years of rebellion
   These people would not know My ways;
   Their hearts away from Me would wander.
   So then I swore in My anger
   That none of this rebellious lot
   Would reach My restful habitation.
