Psalms

Psalm 95:7–9

⁷For He is our God,

and we are the people of His pasture,

the sheep under His care.

Today, if you hear His voice,

⁸do not harden your hearts

as you did at Meribah,^a

in the day at Massah in the wilderness,^b

⁹where your fathers tested and tried Me,

though they had seen My work.
