Psalms 95 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Berean Study Bible
Psalms 95
1Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also.
5The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.
6Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
7For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!
8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;
9When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.
10Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:
11Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest.
Psalms 95
1Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!
2Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.
3For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
5The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.
6O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
8do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.
10For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray, and they have not known My ways.”
11So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”
