v. 2 Let us approach his presence with praise; in songs we will cry out to him
v. 3 because YHWH is a great God and a great king over all gods,

v. 9 where your ancestors put me to the test. They tested me. They had even seen my work!
v. 10 For forty years I was disgusted with a generation and I would think: 'They are a people whose heart strays and they do not recognize my ways.
v. 11 [They are a people] about whom I swore in my anger, They will not enter into my place of rest!"'
