Praise to the Lord , and Warning against Unbelief.

1
O come, let us (A)sing for joy to the Lord,
Let us shout joyfully to (B)the rock of our salvation.
2
Let us (C)come before His presence (D)with (a)thanksgiving,
Let us shout joyfully to Him (E)with (b)psalms.
3
For the Lord is a (F)great God
And a great King (G)above all gods,
4
In whose hand are the (H)depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
5
(c)The sea is His, for it was He (I)who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.
6
Come, let us (J)worship and bow down,
Let us (K)kneel before the Lord our (L)Maker.
7
For He is our God,
And (M)we are the people of His (d)(N)pasture and the sheep of His hand.
(O)Today, (e)if you would hear His voice,
8
Do not harden your hearts, as at (f)(P)Meribah,
As in the day of (g)(Q)Massah in the wilderness,
9
“When your fathers (R)tested Me,
They tried Me, though they had seen My work.
10
“For (S)forty years I loathed that generation,
And said they are a people who err in their heart,
And they do not know My ways.
11
“Therefore I (T)swore in My anger,
Truly they shall not enter into My (U)rest.”
