Psalms 95

lekhu nerannenah la-Adonai nari'ah letsur yishenu

Come, let us sing joyously to GOD, raise a shout for our rock and deliverer;

neqaddemah fanayw betodah bizmirot naria lo

let us come into the divine presence with praise; let us shout out in song!

ki el gadol Adonai umelekh gadol al-kol-elohim

For the ETERNAL is a great God, the great ruler of all divine beings.

asher beyado mekhqere-arets veto'afot harim lo

In God’s hand are the depths of the earth; the peaks of the mountains are God’s.

asher-lo hayyam vehu asahu veyabbeshet yadayw yatsaru

The sea is God’s—the One who made it; and the land, fashioned by God’s hands.

bo'u nishtakhaveh venikhra'ah nivrekhah lifne-Adonai osenu

Come, let us bow down and kneel, bend the knee before the ETERNAL our maker,

ki-hu elohenu va'anakhnu am marito vetson yado hayyom im-beqolo tishma'u

for this One is our God, and we are the people being cared for—the tended flock. O, if you would but heed God’s charge this day:

al-taqshu levavkhem kimrivah keyom massah bammidbar

Do not be stubborn as at Meribah, as on the day of Massah, in the wilderness,

asher nissuni avotekhem bekhanuni gam-ra'u fo'oli

when your ancestors put Me to the test, tried Me, though they had seen My deeds.

arba'im shanah aqut bedor va'omar am to'e levav hem vehem lo-yade'u derakhay

Forty years I was provoked by that generation; I thought, “They are a senseless people; they would not know My ways.”

asher-nishbati ve'appi im-yevo'un el-menukhati

Concerning them I swore in anger, “They shall never come to My resting-place!”
