1 Come, let's sing to ADONAI! Let's shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation!
1
O come, let us make songs to the Lord; sending up glad voices to the Rock of our salvation.
2 Let's come into his presence with thanksgiving; let's shout for joy to him with songs of praise.
2
Let us come before his face with praises; and make melody with holy songs.
3 For ADONAI is a great God, a great king greater than all gods.
3
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King over all gods.
4 He holds the depths of the earth in his hands; the mountain peaks too belong to him.
4
The deep places of the earth are in his hand; and the tops of the mountains are his.
5 The sea is his - he made it -and his hands shaped the dry land.
5
The sea is his, and he made it; and the dry land was formed by his hands.
6 Come, let's bow down and worship; let's kneel before ADONAI who made us.
6
O come, let us give worship, falling down on our knees before the Lord our Maker.
7 For he is our God, and we are the people in his pasture, the sheep in his care. If only today you would listen to his voice:
7
For he is our God; and we are the people to whom he gives food, and the sheep of his flock. Today, if you would only give ear to his voice!
8 "Don't harden your hearts, as you did at M'rivah, as you did on that day at Massah in the desert,
8
Let not your hearts be hard, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the waste land;
9 when your fathers put me to the test; they challenged me, even though they saw my work.
9
When your fathers put me to the test and saw my power and my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, 'This is a people whose hearts go astray, they don't understand how I do things.'
10
For forty years I was angry with this generation, and said, They are a people whose hearts are turned away from me, for they have no knowledge of my ways;
11 Therefore I swore in my anger that they would not enter my rest."
11
And I made an oath in my wrath, that they might not come into my place of rest.
