Psalm 95

95:1 Come! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout out praises to our protector who delivers us! 95:2 Let’s enter his presence with thanksgiving! Let’s shout out to him in celebration! 95:3 For the Lord is a great God, a great king who is superior to all gods. 95:4 The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 95:5 The sea is his, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land. 95:6 Come! Let’s bow down and worship! Let’s kneel before the Lord, our creator!
