— And my mouth will proclaim your praise.

and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us.

Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving

and sing joyful songs to the Lord.

the great king over all the gods.

He holds in his hands the depths of the earth

and the highest mountains as well

He made the sea; it belongs to him,

the dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.

bending the knee before the Lord, our maker,

For he is our God and we are his people,

the flock he shepherds.

Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did

in the wilderness, when at Meriba and Massah

they challenged me and provoked me,

Although they had seen all of my works.

I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray

and they do not know my ways.”

So I swore in my anger,

“They shall not enter into my rest.”

and to the Holy Spirit:

as it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be for ever. Amen.
