Psalms 95

³For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.

God’s - Above all that are called God’s angels, earthly potentates, and especially the false gods of the Heathen.

⁴In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.

Hand - Under his government. Strength - The strongest or highest mountains.

⁷For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

Pasture - Whom he feeds and keeps in his own pasture, or in the land which he hath appropriated to himself. The sheep - Which are under his special care. Today - Forthwith or presently.

⁸Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

Harden not - By obstinate unbelief. Provocation - In that bold and wicked contest with God in the wilderness. Temptation - In the day in which you tempted me.

⁹When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

Works - Both of mercy, and of justice.

¹⁰Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

Do err - Their hearts are insincere and bent to backsliding. Not known - After all my teaching and discoveries of myself to them; they did not know, nor consider, those great things which I had wrought for them.

¹¹Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.

My rest - Into the promised land, which is called the rest, Deut 12:9.
