O come, let us joyfully sing to the LORD;

O come, let us joyfully sing to the LORD; To the Rock of salvation let us raise our voice. Let us come before him expressing our thanks; Let us with loud singing praise him and rejoice.

The LORD is the great God, King over all gods. The earth’s deepest places he holds in his hand; The heights of the mountains belong to the LORD. The oceans are his, and he formed the dry land.

Come, let us bow humbly and worship the LORD; Let us kneel before him, our Maker, in prayer. For we are his people and he is our God; He shepherds and feeds us in his loving care.

Today if you hear and attend to his voice, Don’t harden your hearts as you did on the way; In Meribah’s desert you quarrelled with me, You tested my patience at Massah that day.

Your fathers provoked me and tested me there, Although they had witnessed the works I had done. With that generation for forty long years My deep indignation continued to burn.

I said, “They’re a people whose hearts go astray; They do not acknowledge that my ways are best.” And so, in my anger, I stated on oath, “I swear that they never shall enter my rest.”
