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)
