The rock of our salvation

(Hebrews 3:7-11)
1
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us and saves us!
2
We should thank him as we come before him and sing joyful songs as we praise him.
3
Because Yahweh is a great God, he is a great king who rules over all other gods.
4
He rules over the whole earth from the deepest places to the highest mountains.
5
The seas are his because he made them. He is the one who made the dry land.
6
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7
He is our God, and we are the people whom he protects, like sheep that a shepherd takes care of. I desire that today you may hear what Yahweh is saying to you.
8
He says, “Do not become stubborn as your ancestors did at Meribah, and as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9
There your ancestors wanted to see if they could do evil things without my punishing them. Even though they had seen me perform many miracles, they tested whether I would continue to be patient with them.
10
For forty years I was angry with those people, and I said, ’Those people are unreliable. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11
So because I was very angry; I solemnly said about them, ‘They will never enter the land of Canaan where I would have allowed them to rest!’”

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.
6
Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,
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.”
