Psalms 95 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 95
1O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.
3For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.
4The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.
5The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.
6O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.
7For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
8Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;
9When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.
10For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;
11And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
Psalms 95
1Oh come, let's sing to the Lord. Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
2Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let's extol him with songs!
3For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
6Oh come, let's worship and bow down. Let's kneel before the Lord, our Maker,
7for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
8Do not harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
10Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."
11Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
