Exodus 17: 1-7\nhe whole Israelite community set out from the Desert of Sin, traveling from place to place as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 So they quarreled with Moses and said, \u201cGive us water to drink.\u201d\n\nMoses replied, \u201cWhy do you quarrel with me? Why do you put the Lord to the test?\u201d\n\n3 But the people were thirsty for water there, and they grumbled against Moses. They said, \u201cWhy did you bring us up out of Egypt to make us and our children and livestock die of thirst?\u201d\n\n4 Then Moses cried out to the Lord, \u201cWhat am I to do with these people? They are almost ready to stone me.\u201d\n\n5 The Lord answered Moses, \u201cGo out in front of the people. Take with you some of the elders of Israel and take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.\u201d So Moses did this in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 And he called the place Massah[a] and Meribah[b] because the Israelites quarreled and because they tested the Lord saying, \u201cIs the Lord among us or not?\u201d\n\nPsalm 95\n1 Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;\n let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.\n2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving\n and extol him with music and song.\n3 For the Lord is the great God,\n the great King above all gods.\n4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,\n and the mountain peaks belong to him.\n5 The sea is his, for he made it,\n and his hands formed the dry land.\n6 Come, let us bow down in worship,\n let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;\n7 for he is our God\n and we are the people of his pasture,\n the flock under his care.\nToday, if only you would hear his voice,\n8 \u201cDo not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah,[a]\n as you did that day at Massah[b] in the wilderness,\n9 where your ancestors tested me;\n they tried me, though they had seen what I did.\n10 For forty years I was angry with that generation;\n I said, \u2018They are a people whose hearts go astray,\n and they have not known my ways.\u2019\n11 So I declared on oath in my anger,\n \u2018They shall never enter my rest.\u2019\u201d
