A Song of Praise
1 Come, let us praise the Lord!
Let us sing for joy to God, who protects us!
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving
and sing joyful songs of praise.
3 For the Lord is a mighty God,
a mighty king over all the gods.
4 He rules over the whole earth,
from the deepest caves to the highest hills.
5 He rules over the sea, which he made;
the land also, which he himself formed.
6 Come, let us bow down and worship him;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 He is our God;
we are the people he cares for,
the flock for which he provides.
Listen today to what he says:
8 “Don't be stubborn, as your ancestors were at Meribah,
as they were that day in the desert at Massah.
9 There they put me to the test and tried me,
although they had seen what I did for them.
10 For forty years I was disgusted with those people.
I said, ‘How disloyal they are!
They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 I was angry and made a solemn promise:
‘You will never enter the land
where I would have given you rest.’”
Pateiciet un paklausiet tam Kungam!
1 Nāciet, dziedāsim līksmi tam Kungam, gavilēsim mūsu glābiņa un pestīšanas klints patvērumam!
2 Iesim ar pateicību Viņa vaiga priekšā, uzgavilēsim Viņam ar mūsu slavas dziesmām!
3 Jo tas Kungs ir liels Dievs un liels ķēniņš pār visiem dieviem,
4 Kā rokā ir zemes dziļumi un kam pieder arī kalnu galotnes;
5 Viņam pieder jūfa, jo Viņš to ir radījis, un cietzeme, —Viņa rokas to ir veidojušas.
6 Nāciet, pielūgsim un zemosimies, locīsim ceļus tā Kunga, sava Radītāja, priekšā!
7 Jo Viņš ir mūsu Dievs, un mēs Viņa tauta, avis, ko Viņa roka gana. Šodien uzklausiet Viņa balsi:
8 Neapcietiniet savas sirdis kā Meribā, kā Masas dienā tuksnesī,
9 Kur jūsu tēvi Mani kārdināja, Mani pārbaudīja, lai gan redzēja Manus darbus.
10 Četrdesmit gadus Man bijušas raizes ar šo tautu, un Es teicu: „Tie ir ļaudis, kupu sirdīm patīk maldu ceļi“; viņi nezina Manas tekas.
11 Tādēļ Es esmu zvērējis savās dusmās: „Tiešām, tie nenāks Manā miera vietā!“
