Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!

Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!

For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,

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!

Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”

Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”

هَلُمُّوا نُهَلِّلُ لِلرَّبّ نَهتِفُ لِصَخرَةِ خَلاصِنا

نُبادِرُ إِلى وَجهِه بِالشُّكْران ونَهتِفُ لَه بِالأَناشيد

فإِنَّ الرَّبَّ إِلٰهٌ عَظيم وعلى جَميعِ الآلِهَةِ مَلِكٌ عَظيم

هو الَّذي بِيَدِه أَعماقُ الأَرض ولَه قِمَمُ الجِبال

لَه البَحرُ وهو صَنَعَه ويَداه جَبَلَتا اليَبَس

هَلُمُّوا نَسجُدُ ونَركَعُ لَه نَجْثو أَمامَ الرَّبِّ صانِعِنا

فإِنَّه هو إِلٰهُنا ونَحنُ شَعبُ مَرْعاه وغَنَمُ يَدِه. اليومَ إِذا سَمِعتُم صَوتَه

فلا تُقَسُّوا قُلوبَكم كما في مَريبة. وكما في يَومِ مَسَّة(٣) في البَرِّيَّة

حَيثُ آباؤُكمُ ٱمتَحَنوني وٱختَبَروني وكانوا يَرَونَ أَعْمالي

أَربَعينَ سَنَةً سَئِمتُ ذٰلِكَ الجيل وقُلتُ: «هُم شَعبٌ ضَلَّت قُلوبُهم»

ولم يَعرِفوا سُبُلي حتَّى أَقسَمتُ في غَضَبي أَن لَن يَدْخُلوا في راحَتي
