1 O come, let us sing unto Hashem;

let us make a joyful noise to the Tzur of our salvation.

2 Let us come before His presence with todah,

and extol Him with zemirot (joyful songs).

3 For Hashem is El Gadol,

and Melech Gadol above kol elohim (g-ds).

4 In His yad are the deep places of ha'aretz;

the peaks of the harim are His also.

5 The yam is His, and He made it;

and His hands formed the yabashah (dry land).

6 O come, let us worship and bow down;

let us kneel before Hashem Oseinu (our Maker).

7 For He is Eloheinu;

and we are the people of His pasture,

and the tzon of His yad.

Today if ye will hear His voice,

8 Harden not your lev, as in Merivah,

and as in the Yom Massah in the midbar;

9 When your avot tested Me,

tried Me, and saw My work.

10 Arba'im shanah was I grieved with this generation,

and said, It is a people that do stray in their lev,

and they have no da'as of My ways;

11 Unto whom I swore an oath in My wrath

that they should not enter into My menuchah.
