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, [Meribah] means [quarreling.] as you did that day at Massah [Massah] means [testing.] 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.'"
