A hymn calling worshippers to sing, shout, and kneel before the Lord as maker of earth, depths, and dry land. It pivots into a prophetic warning based on Israel's testing God at Meribah and Massah in the wilderness: if people hear God's voice today let them not harden their hearts and forfeit rest.
