Psalm 95

W. van der Kamp, 1967

1. The LORD be praised; come, let us sing,
   And let our voice with rapture ring
   To hail the rock of our salvation.
   Before our God with strength endued
   We’ll come with shouts of gratitude,
   With Psalms and songs of adoration.
   
2. The LORD our God is good and great;
   None is like Him in royal state.
   No god, O God, shall stand before Thee.
   The depths of earth are in His hand;
   He formed the mountains, shaped the land;
   The sea is His. All show His glory!
   
3. Come, let us worship and bow down
   Before this God of great renown.
   Our Maker, Him our thanks we render:
   He led us by His mighty hand
   To pastures in a verdant land.
   He is our Shepherd, our Defender.
   
4. Would that today you heard His voice!
   Do not renew your fathers’ choice;
   Meribah, Massah saw them chastened.
   With hardened hearts they tested Me;
   They disobeyed though they could see
   How to their aid I always hastened.
   
5. For forty years I bore their ill.
   I said, “They err in heart and will
   And from My ways they stray forever.”
   Then in My anger I did swear,
   “My heritage they shall not share;
   Into My rest they’ll enter never.”
