Psalms, Chapter 95
The author of this psalm was David, as is affirmed, (Heb 4:7). It has a special reference to the days of the Messiah; as it is understood by the apostle, (Heb 3:7)&c. and (Heb 4:3-9). Herein we are called upon, to praise God, as a great and gracious God, ver. 1 - 7. To hear God's voice, and not harden our hearts, lest we fall as the Israelites did, ver. 8 - 11.

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

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

7: 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.

8: 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.

9: Works - Both of mercy, and of justice.

10: 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.

11: My rest - Into the promised land, which is called the rest,(De 12:9).
