Chapter 94

An invitation to adore and serve God, and to hear his voice.

1. 1

   Praise of a canticle for David himself.

2. 2

   Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

3. 3

   For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

4. 4

   For in his hand are all the ends of the earth: and the heights of the mountains are his.

5. 5

   For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.

6. 6

   Come, let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us.

7. 7

   For he is the Lord, our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

8. 8

   To-day if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts:

9. 9

   As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

10. 10

    Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart.

11. 11

    And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
