Psalm 94


1 The praise of a Song by David.

Come, let us exult [1]in the Lord;

let us make a joyful noise to God our Saviour.

2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,

and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God,

and a great king [2]over all gods.

4 For the ends of the earth are in his hands;

and the heights of the mountains are his.

5 For the sea is his, and he made it:

and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us worship and fall down before him;

and weep before the Lord that made us.

7 For he is our God;

and we are the people of his pasture,

and the sheep of his hand.

8 [3][4]Today, if ye will hear his voice,

harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,

according to the day of [5]irritation in the wilderness:

9 where your fathers tempted me,

proved me, and saw my works.

10 Forty years was I grieved with this generation,

and said, They do always err in their heart,

and they have not known my ways.

11 [6]So I sware in my wrath,

They shall not enter into my rest.
