Psalms

1 Come, let us praise the Lord! Let us shout praises to the Rock who saves us.

2 Let us go to worship the Lord. Let us approach him with songs of thanks. Let us sing happy songs of praise to him.

3 For the Lord is a great God, the great King ruling over all the other "gods."

4 The deepest caves and the highest mountains belong to him.

5 The ocean is his�he created it. He made the dry land with his own hands.

6 Come, let us bow down and worship him! Let us kneel before the Lord who made us.

7 He is our God, and we are the people he cares for, his sheep that walk by his side. Listen to his voice today:

8 "Don't be stubborn, as you were at Meribah, as you were at Massah in the desert.

9 Your ancestors doubted and tested me, even after they saw what I could do!

10 I was angry with them for 40 years. I said, 'They are not faithful to me. They refuse to do what I say.'

11 So in my anger I made this vow: 'They will never enter my land of rest.'"
