Day IXX : Morning Prayer

Psalm 95 - Venite, exultemus

1   O 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 show 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 depths of the earth, +
    and the heights of the hills are his also.

5   The sea is his, for 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 our God, +
    and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

8   Today, if you 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 tested me, +
    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my works.

10  Forty years long was I grieved with this generation and said, +
    “It is a people that err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways,”

11  Of whom I swore in my wrath +
    that they should not enter into my rest.
