The rock of our salvation

(Hebrews 3:7-11)
1
The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior.(a)
2
Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms.
3
For the Lord is a great God and a great King over all gods.
4
For in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
5
For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6
Come, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made us.
7
For he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
8
If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
9
as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my works.
10
For forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart.
11
And these have not known my ways. So I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my 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.”
