A Call to Worship and Obedience

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.² Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.³ For the Lord is the great God,And the great King above all gods.⁴ In His hand are the deep places of the earth;The heights of the hills are His also.⁵ The sea is His, for He made it;And His hands formed the dry land.

⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down;Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.⁷ For He is our God,And we are the people of His pasture,And the sheep of His hand.

Today, if you will hear His voice:⁸ “Do not harden your hearts, as in the rebellion,^[a]As in the day of trial^[b] in the wilderness,⁹ When your fathers tested Me;They tried Me, though they saw My work.¹⁰ For forty years I was grieved with that generation,And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,And they do not know My ways.’¹¹ So I swore in My wrath,‘They shall not enter My rest.’”
