1The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior. 2Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms. 3For the Lord is a great God and a great King over all gods. 4For in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his. 5For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. 6Come, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made us. 7For he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. 8If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts: 9as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my works. 10For forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart. 11And these have not known my ways. So I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest.
