1 O come, let us sing for joy to the Lord, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.

2 L et us come before His presence with thanksgiving, Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms.

3 F or the Lord is a great God And a great King above all gods,

4 I n whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are His also.

5 T he sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.

6 C ome, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

7 F or He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His voice,

8 D o not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

9 “ When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work.

10 “ For forty years I loathed 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, Truly they shall not enter into My rest.”
