The rock of our salvation
(Hebrews 3:7-11)
1
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us and saves us!
2
We should thank him as we come before him and sing joyful songs as we praise him.
3
Because Yahweh is a great God, he is a great king who rules over all other gods.
4
He rules over the whole earth from the deepest places to the highest mountains.
5
The seas are his because he made them. He is the one who made the dry land.
6
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7
He is our God, and we are the people whom he protects, like sheep that a shepherd takes care of. I desire that today you may hear what Yahweh is saying to you.
8
He says, “Do not become stubborn as your ancestors did at Meribah, and as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
9
There your ancestors wanted to see if they could do evil things without my punishing them. Even though they had seen me perform many miracles, they tested whether I would continue to be patient with them.
10
For forty years I was angry with those people, and I said, ’Those people are unreliable. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11
So because I was very angry; I solemnly said about them, ‘They will never enter the land of Canaan where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
