Он, come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands formed the dry land. Oh, come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Oh, sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth. Sing unto the Lord, and praise his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. |
