7 For he is our God,

and we are the people of his pasture,

and the sheep of his hand.

O that today you would hearken to his voice!

8 Harden not your hearts, as at Meribah,

as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

9 when your fathers tested me,

and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.

10 For forty years I loathed that generation

and said, “They are a people who err in heart,

and they do not regard my ways.”
