Psal. 95. Venite, exultemus.

1

Come to the Lord, sing joyfully,
let us together flocke;
And shout aloud triumphantly,
in our Salvations Rocke.

2

His face with praise let us prevent,
in him with Psalmes rejoyce:
Triumphant shouts to him present,
and make a cheerfull noise.

3

For why? the Lord our God is great,
a mighty King he is:
Above all gods, the Soveraigne seat,
the power Imperiall his.

4

The deeps of earth are in his hand,
his, is the strength of Hills:
The shore-bound sea, the dry-laid land,
his hand that form'd, fulfills.

5

O come, and let us then adore,
due worship yeeld him all;
And prostrate on our knees, before
the Lord our Maker fall.

6

For in his folds and fields is he
our God, that doth us keep:
The pasture his, his people we,
we of his hand the sheep.

7

To day his voice if ye will heare,
then harden not your hearts:
In Meribah, like them that were,
in Massah's Desert parts.

8

That day your fathers faulty were,
shooke off their former awe:

9

To tempt Me fell, to prove Me there,
and yet my workes they saw.

10

To whom (said I) with griefe deferr'd,
full forty yeeres of daies,
This people in their heart have err'd,
and have not knowne my waies.

11

To whom I swore it in my wrath,
hot boiling in my brest:
If ever—: witnesse this mine oath,
they enter not my rest.
