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,
8Harden not your hearts as at Meribah and as at Massah in the day of temptation in the wilderness,
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].
