Do Not Harden Your Hearts 1Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation! 2Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song. 3For the LORD is a great God, 4In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him. 5The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land. 6O come, 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, the sheep under His care. 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, 10For forty years I was angry with that generation, and I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray,c and they have not known My ways.” 11So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”d Footnotes: 8 a LXX as you did in the rebellion; Meribah means quarreling; see Exodus 17:7; cited in Hebrews 3:15 and Hebrews 4:7. 8 b LXX in the day of testing in the wilderness; Massah means testing; see Exodus 17:7. 10 c LXX They always go astray in the heart 11 d Cited in Hebrews 3:7–11, Hebrews 4:3, and Hebrews 4:5 The Holy Bible, Majority Standard Bible, MSB is produced in cooperation with Bible Hub, Discovery Bible, OpenBible.com, and the Berean Bible Translation Committee.
