The Book of Psalms

Come, we sing to YHWH, || We shout to the rock of our salvation.

We come before His face with thanksgiving, || We shout to Him with psalms.

For YHWH [is] a great God, || And a great King over all gods.

In whose hand [are] the deep places of earth, || And the strong places of hills [are] His.

Whose is the sea, and He made it, || And His hands formed the dry land.

Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, || We kneel before YHWH our Maker.

For He [is] our God, and we the people of His pasture, || And the flock of His hand, || Today, if you listen to His voice,

Do not harden your heart as [in] Meribah, || As [in] the day of Massah in the wilderness,

Where your fathers have tried Me, || Have proved Me, indeed, have seen My work.

Forty years I am weary of the generation, || And I say, “A people erring in heart—they! And they have not known My ways”:

Where I swore in My anger, “If they come into My rest—!”

Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,

for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!

Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
