1 Come, let's sing for joy to the LORD, Let's shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let's come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving, Let's shout joyfully to Him in songs with instruments.
3 For the LORD is a great God And a great King above all gods,
4 In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are also His.
5 The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
6 Come, let's worship and bow down, Let's kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice,
8 Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, As on the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 "When your fathers put Me to the test, They tested Me, though they had seen My work.
10 For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know My ways.
11 Therefore I swore in My anger, They certainly shall not enter My rest."
