1 Come, let's shout praises to God, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
1
Oh come, let us sing to Yahweh. Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let's march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!
2
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let us make a joyful noise to him with psalms!
3 And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods.
3
For Yahweh is a great God, A great King above all gods.
4 In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns, in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5 He made Ocean - he owns it! His hands sculpted Earth!
5
The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
6 So come, let us worship: bow before him, on your knees before God, who made us!
6
Oh come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before Yahweh, our Maker,
7 Oh yes, he's our God, and we're the people he pastures, the flock he feeds. Drop everything and listen, listen as he speaks:
7
For he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
8 "Don't turn a deaf ear as in the Bitter Uprising, As on the day of the Wilderness Test,
8
Don't harden your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your ancestors turned and put me to the test.
9
When your fathers tempted me, Tested me, and saw my work.
10 For forty years they watched me at work among them, as over and over they tried my patience. And I was provoked - oh, was I provoked! 'Can't they keep their minds on God for five minutes? Do they simply refuse to walk down my road?'
10
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, And said, "It is a people that errs in their heart. They have not known my ways."
11 Exasperated, I exploded, 'They'll never get where they're headed, never be able to sit down and rest.'"
11
Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They won't enter into my rest."
