1 O come, let us | sing un•to the | Lord; ||
let us heartily re- | joice • in the | strength of • our sal- | vation. ||
2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
2 Let us come before his | 3 presence with | thanks•giving; ||
and show ourselves | glad in | him with | psalms. ||
3 For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
3 For the | Lord • is a | great God; ||
and a | great | King a•bove | all gods. ||
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
4 In his hand are all the | corners • of the | earth; ||
and the | strength • of the | hills is • his | also. ||
5 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
5 The sea is | his, and • he | made it; ||
and | his • hands pre- | pared the • dry | land. ||
6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

7 For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
7 For he is the | Lord our | God; ||
and we are the people of his | pasture, • and the | 3 sheep of his | hand. ||
8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
8 To-day if ye will hear his voice, | harden • not your | hearts ||
as in the provocation, and as in the | 3 day of tempt- | ation • in the | wilder•ness; ||
9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
9 When your | fathers | tempted • me, ||
3 proved | me, and | saw my | works. ||
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
10 Forty years long was I grieved with this gener- | ation, • and | said, ||
It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they | have not | known my | ways: ||
11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
11 Unto whom I | 3 sware in my | wrath, ||
that they should not | enter | 3 into my | rest. ||
About the Pointing
The text of the Coverdale Psalter follows the 1928 American Book of Common Prayer. The pointing, suitably adapted, is taken from Charles Macpherson, Edward C. Bairstow, and Percy C. Buck, The English Psalter (Novello & Co., 1925).
