 Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * and kneel before the our Maker.

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. * Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!

Harden not your hearts, as your forebears did in the wilderness, * at Meribah, and on that day at Massah, when they tempted me.

They put me to the test, * though they had seen my works.

Forty years long I detested that generation and said, * “This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways.”

So I swore in my wrath, * “They shall not enter into my rest.”

Sing to the a new song; * sing to the, all the whole earth.

Sing to the and bless his Name; * proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the nations * and his wonders among all peoples.

For great is the and greatly to be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods.
