¹ O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.

² Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.

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

⁴ The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.

⁵ The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.

⁶ O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.

⁷ For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!

⁸ Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;

⁹ When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.

¹⁰ For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;

¹¹ And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
