Venite, exultemus.

10 come, let us sing unto the Lord :

Let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving :

And shew ourselves glad in him with psalms.

3 For the Lord is a great God:

And a great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are all the corners of the earth :

And the strength of the hills is his also.

5 The sea is his, and he made it :

And his hands prepared the dry land.

6 O come, let us worship and fall down :

And kneel before the Lord our Maker.

7 For he is the Lord our God: And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

8 To-day if ye will hear his voice,

Harden not your hearts: as in the provocation,

And as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; 9 When your fathers tempted

me :

Proved me, and saw my works.

10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation,

And said: It is a people that do err in their hearts,

For they have not known

my ways; 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath :

That they should not enter into my rest.
