Leader: 6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
ALL: 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
Leader: Today, if only you would hear his voice,
8 “Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,
as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,
10 For forty years I was angry with that generation;
I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,
and they have not known my ways.’
ALL: 6 Come, let us bow down in worship,
let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
Leader: 7 for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture,
the flock under his care.
ALL: 1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD!
let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation!

an ever-present help in trouble.

and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

the holy place where the Most High dwells.

I will be exalted in the earth.”

4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him—5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 9 You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.
