[1] Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD. Let us give a loud shout to the Rock who saves us. [2] Let us come to him and give him thanks. Let us praise him with music and song. [3] The LORD is the great God. He is the greatest King. He rules over all the gods. [4] He owns the deepest parts of the earth. The mountain peaks belong to him. [5] The ocean is his, because he made it. He formed the dry land with his hands. [6] Come, let us bow down and worship him. Let us fall on our knees in front of the LORD our Maker. [7] He is our God. We are the sheep belonging to his flock. We are the people he takes good care of. If only you would listen to his voice today. [8] He says, “Don’t be stubborn as you were at Meribah. Don’t be stubborn as you were that day at Massah in the desert. [9] There your people of long ago really tested me. They did it even though they had seen what I had done for them. [10] For 40 years I was angry with them. I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray. They do not know how I want them to live.’ [11] So when I was angry, I made a promise. I said, ‘They will never enjoy the rest I planned for them.’ ”
