1Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us give a joyous shout to the rock of our salvation!
2Let us come before him with thanksgiving. Let us sing him psalms of praise.
3For the LORD is a great God, the great King above all gods.
4He owns the depths of the earth, and even the mightiest mountains are his.
5The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too.
6Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,
7for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the sheep under his care. Oh, that you would listen to his voice today!
8The LORD says, "Don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9For there your ancestors tried my patience; they courted my wrath though they had seen my many miracles.
10For forty years I was angry with them, and I said, `They are a people whose hearts turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.'
11So in my anger I made a vow: `They will never enter my place of rest.'"
