1 O come, let us sing with joy to the LORD;
our Savior and rock, loud praises accord.
2 With thanks let us enter his presence and raise
our shouts of thanksgiving in psalms filled with praise.
3 How great is the LORD, our God and our King,
above all the gods, his greatness we sing.
5 Earth’s valleys and mountains he holds in his hand.
He made them and rules them–the sea and the land.
6 O come, let us bow and worship the LORD;
before him we kneel, with praises adore.
7 For he is our God; we’re the sheep of his hand,
and we are his people who dwell in his land.
Today if you hear the voice of the LORD,
8 then close not your hearts to God’s holy word,
like those in the desert of Massah that day,
like those who at Meribah would not obey.
9 My people provoked and tested me there,
although in my works they’d seen my great care.
10 With that generation for forty long years
my deep indignation continued to burn.
11 I said, “They have hearts that wander astray;
they do not affirm my excellent way.”
And so, in my anger, on oath I declared,
“The rest I have promised, they never will share.”
