Psalm
95 Prayed
Praising God for the gospel
Come Holy Spirit, let us sing for joy
to the Lord
Jesus;
let
us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before him with
thanksgiving
and
extol him with music and song.
O Lord Jesus you are the great
God,
the
great King above all gods.
You are the One who lives
for
ever and ever.
You created the heavens
and
all that is in them,
the earth and all that is in
it,
the
sea and all that is in it.
In your hand are the depths of the
earth,
and
the mountain peaks belong to you.
The sea is yours, for you made
it,
and
your hands formed the dry land.
Come, Holy Spirit, help us bow
down in worship,
let
us kneel before the Lord Jesus our Maker;
for he is our God
and
we are the people of his pasture,
the
flock under his care.
O Father, make each one of us
willing to hear your
voice today.
Do
not let us harden our hearts as ancient Israel
did
at Meribah,
as
they did that day at Massah in the desert,
where their forefathers tested
and tried you,
because
the Israelites quarrelled,
they
tested you saying,
“Is the Lord among us or not?”,
though
they had seen what you did for them.
For forty years you were angry
with that
generation;
You
said, “They are a people whose hearts go
astray,
and
they have not known my ways.”
So you declared on oath in your
anger,
“They
shall never enter my rest.”
They were not able to enter,
because of their
unbelief.
but
the promise of entering your rest still
stands.
There remains, then, a
Sabbath-rest for your people
O
God;
for
anyone who enters your rest
also
rests from their own work,
just
as you did from yours.
Help
us, therefore, to make every effort to enter
that
rest,
so
that we will not fall by following their
example
of disobedience.
Therefore O Lord, we will not work
to earn our
salvation,
but
each one of us will trust in you,
who
justifies the wicked.
Let our faith be credited to us
as
righteousness.
Since we have been justified
through faith,
we
have peace with you through our Lord
Jesus
Christ,
through whom we have gained
access by faith
into
this grace in which we now stand.
And we rejoice in the hope of
the glory of God,
and
hope does not disappoint us,
because you have poured out
your love
into
our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
whom
you have given us.
