Venite, exultemus Domino
O COME, let us sing unto the LORD; * let us heartily
rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; *
and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God; * and a great King above
all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth; * and the
strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepare
the dry land.
O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before
the LORD our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of
his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts *
as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation
in the wilderness.
When your fathers tempted me * proved me and saw
my works.
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation and
said * it is a people that do err in their hearts, for they
have not known my ways.
Unto whom I swore in my wrath : that they should not
enter into my rest.
GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the
Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.

note: The American Prayer Book replaces four verses with two verses from Psalm 96, as follows:
O COME, let us sing unto the LORD; * let us heartily
rejoice in the strength of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; *
and show ourselves glad in him with psalms.
For the LORD is a great God; * and a great King above
all gods.
In his hand are all the corners of the earth; * and the
strength of the hills is his also.
The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepare
the dry land.
O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before
the LORD our Maker.
For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of
his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; • let the
whole earth stand in awe of him.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; • and
with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples
with his truth.
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth; • and
with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples
with his truth.
GLORY be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the
Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
