Psalms 95 Comparison: American Standard Version vs Young's Literal Translation
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, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation.
2We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him.
3For a great God is Jehovah, And a great king over all gods.
4In whose hand are the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills are His.
5Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
6Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker.
7For He is our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,
8Harden not your heart as in Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9Where your fathers have tried Me, Have proved Me, yea, have seen My work.
10Forty years I am weary of the generation, And I say, `A people erring in heartthey! And they have not known My ways:'
11Where I sware in Mine anger, `If they come in unto My rest!'
