Do Not Harden Your Hearts

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,

in the day at Massah in the wilderness,

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,

and they have not known My ways.”

¹¹ So I swore on oath in My anger,

“They shall never enter My rest.”
