Psalms 95:7
5 The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.
6 O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
8 do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, in the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9 where your fathers tested and tried Me, though they had seen My work.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
