1
Come, let us sing to the Lord !
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
2
Let us come to him with thanksgiving.
Let us sing psalms of praise to him.
3
For the Lord is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
4
He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
and the mightiest mountains.
5
The sea belongs to him, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land, too.
6
Come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord our maker,
7
for he is our God.
We are the people he watches over,
the flock under his care.
If only you would listen to his voice today!
8
The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah,
as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9
For there your ancestors tested and tried my patience,
even though they saw everything I did.
10
For forty years I was angry with them, and I said,
‘They are a people whose hearts turn away from me.
They refuse to do what I tell them.’
11
So in my anger I took an oath:
‘They will never enter my place of rest.’”
