Oh come, let's sing to The LORD.Let's shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
2
Let's come before his presence with thanksgiving.Let's extol him with songs!
3
For the LORD is a great God,a great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.The heights of the mountains are also his.
5
The sea is his, and he made it.His hands formed the dry land.
6
Oh come, let's worship and bow down.Let's kneel before The LORD, our Maker,
7
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!

11
Therefore I swore in my wrath,"They won't enter into my rest."
