Praise to Jehovah, and Warning Against Unbelief


[1]	OH come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
[2]	Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
[3]	For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods.
[4]	In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights 1 of the mountains are his also.
[5]	The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land.
[6]	Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
[7]	For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh 2 that ye would hear his voice!
[8]	Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, 3 As in the day of Massah 4 in the wilderness;
[9]	When your fathers tempted me, Proved me, and saw my work.
[10]	Forty years long was I grieved with that generation, And said, It is a people that do err in their heart, And they have not known my ways:
[11]	Wherefore I sware in my wrath, That they should not enter into my rest.
