Worship and Obey theLord
1Sing joyful songs to theLord!
Praise the mighty rock+
where we are safe.
2Come to worship him
with thankful hearts
and songs of praise.
3TheLord is the greatest God,
king over all other gods.
4He holds the deepest part
of the earth in his hands,
and the mountain peaks
also belong to him.
5The ocean is the Lord's
because he made it,
and with his own hands
he formed the dry land.
6Bow down and worship
theLord our Creator!
7 TheLord is our God,
and we are his people,
the sheep he takes care of
in his own pasture.
Listen to God's voice today!
8 Don't be stubborn and rebel
as your ancestors did
at Meribah and Massah+
out in the desert.
9For forty years
they tested God and saw
the things he did.
10Then God got tired of them
and said,
“You never show good sense,
and you don't understand
what I want you to do.”
11 In his anger, God told them,
“You people will never enter
my place of rest.”
