1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and extol him with music and song.3 For the LORD is the great God,
the great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;
7 for he is our God
and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.

Today, if you hear his voice,
8 ‘Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]
as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 where your fathers tested me; and tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.”
11 So I declared on oath in my anger,
“They shall never enter my rest.”’
(NIV)

Footnotes
a) 95:8 Meribah means quarrelling.
Psalm 95: The Psalm was link to Jewish traditional worship for the Sabbath which is still used today. A custom which is carried out in many Christian churches today. We sing to God and praise Him for all that He has made.
Do we ‘Praise God for this day He has given us? and all that is around us?’,
Perhaps we sometimes forget what that Sunday is a special day to thank God.
Have we rested and not realise all the work God has done to create this day or week?
Remember to give God
• the thanks and praise for the world around us.
• Give thanks for each new day that we have,
• Thank God for the world He has created and continues to create.
• Give thanks for giving us His Son to take away our sins
