He is our God,
    and we are the people he cares for,
    his sheep that walk by his side.

Listen to his voice today:
    “Don’t be stubborn, as you were at Meribah,
    as you were at Massah[a] in the desert.
Your ancestors doubted and tested me,
    even after they saw what I could do!
10 I was angry with them for 40 years.
    I said, ‘They are not faithful to me.
    They refuse to do what I say.’
11 So in my anger I made this vow:
    ‘They will never enter my land of rest.’”

  1. Psalm 95:8 Meribah … Massah See Ex. 17:1-7.

for he is our God
    and we are the people of his pasture,(A)
    the flock under his care.

Today, if only you would hear his voice,
“Do not harden your hearts(B) as you did at Meribah,[a](C)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(D)
where your ancestors tested(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
10 For forty years(F) I was angry with that generation;
    I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,(G)
    and they have not known my ways.’(H)
11 So I declared on oath(I) in my anger,
    ‘They shall never enter my rest.’”(J)
