1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;
let us shout to the Rock of our deliverance!
2 Let us enter his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him in song.
3 For the LORD is a great God,
a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep under his care.
Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts
as you did at Meribah,*95:8 LXX as you did in the rebellion; Meribah means quarreling; see Exodus 17:7.
in the day at Massah in the wilderness,†95:8 LXX in the day of testing in the wilderness; Massah means testing; see Exodus 17:7.
9 where your fathers tested and tried me,
though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I was angry with that generation,
and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,‡95:10 LXX They always go astray in the heart
and they have not known my ways.”
11 So I swore on oath in my anger,
“They shall never enter my rest.”
