The Hebrew Psalms in English Verse
Psalm 95
Abraham Coles
Let us to Jehovah raise,
Rock of our Salvation, praise!
2 Let us come with lifted palms!
Let us shout to him in psalms!
Let our joyful thanks arise
To the Monarch of the Skies!
3 Inexpressible the odds
'Twixt Him and all other gods.
4 Depths of earth to Him belong,
And the heights of mountains strong:
5 His the sea, made by His hand
That created the dry land.
6 Let us worship! let us bow
'Fore the Lord, our Maker now!
7 He's our God, our Shepherd He,
People of His pasture we,
Objects of His shepherd-care —
Thus He doth His mind declare:
"O that ye to-day would hear!
8 Steel your hearts not 'gainst my fear,
As at Meribah, no less
Massah in the wilderness,
9 When your fathers tempted Me,
Proved Me, and My work did see!
10 "Forty years I, grieving sore,
With that generation bore:
'They a people are,' I said,
'That have always erred and strayed;
Irreclaimably preverse,
Aye addicted to the worse;'
So in wrath I did protest
They should enter not my rest."
