God is so awesome it is hard for us to comprehend. Can you fathom that He holds the depths of the earth in his hands? Verse 6 invites us to worship, bow down and kneel before Him.
Even though we are to hold him in awe, He invites us to be the sheep of His pasture. Some won't respond to his voice, and their hearts turn away from Him. They will not enter His rest (v. 11). In Hebrews 4:3a it says that "We who believe can enter his rest." Remember to rest in His tender care today.
Jesus, You alone are King, above all gods. You are the Creator of everything, and yet You chose to be my Savior and Shepherd. Your love for me is completely unearned and undeserved. How lovely You are! I praise you!
1 Come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us give a joyous shout to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving. Let us sing him psalms of praise.
3 For the LORD is a great God, the great King above all gods.
4 He owns the depths of the earth, and even the mightiest mountains are his.
5 The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too.
6 Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the LORD our maker,
7 for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the sheep under his care. Oh, that you would listen to his voice today!
8 The LORD says, "Don't harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9 For there your ancestors tried my patience; they courted my wrath though they had seen my many miracles.
10 For forty years I was angry with them, and I said, `They are a people whose hearts turn away from me. They refuse to do what I tell them.'
11 So in my anger I made a vow: `They will never enter my place of rest.' "
