6Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness, 9“When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, though they had seen My work. 10For forty years I loathed that generation, And said they are a people who err in their heart, And they do not know My ways.
