¹O COME, let us sing to the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation!

²Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him with songs of praise!

³For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

⁴In His hand are the deep places of the earth; the heights and strength of the hills are His also.

⁵The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land.

⁶O come, let us worship and bow down, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and supplication].

⁷For 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, [Heb. 3:7-11.]

⁸Harden not your hearts as at Meribah and as at Massah in the day of temptation in the wilderness, [Exod. 17:1-7; Num. 20:1-13; Deut. 6:16.]

⁹When your fathers tried My patience and tested Me, proved Me, and saw My work [of judgment].

¹⁰Forty years long was I grieved and disgusted with that generation, and I said, It is a people that do err in their hearts, and they do not approve, acknowledge, or regard My ways.

¹¹Wherefore I swore in My wrath that they would not enter My rest [the land of promise]. [Heb. 4:3-11.]
