Every Prayer Is Heard!

      Psalm 95

      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 only you would hear his voice,
      8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]
          as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,
      9 where your ancestors tested me;
          they 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.’”
