He is our God.
He takes care of us,
    like a shepherd takes care of his sheep.[a]
As his sheep, he gives us what we need.

Today, you must listen to him
    and obey him.
He says, ‘Do not refuse to obey me,
    like my people did at Meribah.
They also did that one day at Massah,
    in the desert.
Your ancestors tested me there,
    to see if I would punish them.
But they had already seen the great things
    that I had done for them!

“Do not harden your hearts(B) as you did at Meribah,[a](C)
    as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,(D)
where your ancestors tested(E) me;
    they tried me, though they had seen what I did.
