The rock of our salvation

(Hebrews 3:7-11)
1
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!
2
Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.
3
For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4
In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
5
The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed 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, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
8
do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,(a) in the day at Massah in the wilderness,(b)
9
where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.
10
For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,(c) and they have not known My ways.”
11
So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”(d)

The rock of our salvation

(Hebrews 3:7-11)
1
Oh come, let’s sing to the LORD. Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
2
Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!
3
For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5
The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.

7
for he is our God. We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep in his care. Today, oh that you would hear his voice!
8
Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
9
when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.
10
Forty long years I was grieved with that generation, and said, “They are a people who err in their heart. They have not known my ways.”
11
Therefore I swore in my wrath, “They won’t enter into my rest.”
