[1] Oh, come, let us sing to the Lord! Give a joyous shout in honor of the Rock of our salvation! [2] Come before him with thankful hearts. Let us sing him psalms of praise. [3] For the Lord is a great God, the great King of all gods. [4] He controls the formation of the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains; all are his. [5] He made the sea and formed the land; they too are his. [6] Come, kneel before the Lord our Maker, [7] for he is our God. We are his sheep, and he is our Shepherd. Oh, that you would hear him calling you today and come to him! [8] Don't harden your hearts as Israel did in the wilderness at Meribah and Massah. [9] For there your fathers doubted me, though they had seen so many of my miracles before. My patience was severely tried by their complaints. [10] "For forty years I watched them in disgust," the Lord God says. "They were a nation whose thoughts and heart were far away from me. They refused to accept my laws. [11] Therefore, in mighty wrath I swore that they would never enter the Promised Land, the place of rest I planned for them."
