Psalm 95:7-11
Easy-to-Read Version
7 He is our God,
and we are the people he cares for,
his sheep that walk by his side.
Listen to his voice today:
8 “Don’t be stubborn, as you were at Meribah,
as you were at Massah[a] in the desert.
9 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.’”

Psalm 95:7-11
New International Version
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,
8 “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)
9 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)
