1Come! Let’s sing for joy to the Lord! Let’s shout out praises to our protector who delivers us!
2Let’s enter his presence with thanksgiving! Let’s shout out to him in celebration!
3For the Lord is a great God, a great king who is superior to all gods.
4The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks belong to him.
5The sea is his, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
6Come! Let’s bow down and worship! Let’s kneel before the Lord, our creator!
7For he is our God; we are the people of his pasture, the sheep he owns. Today, if only you would obey him!

10For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.’
11So I made a vow in my anger, ‘They will never enter into the resting place I had set aside for them.’”
