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, 1
as you did that day at Massah 2 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.' "
