PSALM 95

. David ([Hebrews 4:7](../../../kjv/hebrews/4/7))
exhorts men to praise God for His greatness, and warns them, in God's
words, against neglecting His service.

**1.** The terms used to express the
highest kind of joy.
**rock**—a firm basis,
giving certainty of salvation ().

**2. come . . . presence**—literally,
"approach," or, meet Him ().

**3. above . . . gods**—esteemed
such by men, though really nothing ([Jeremiah 5:7](../../../kjv/jeremiah/5/7);
[Jeremiah 10:10-15](../../../kjv/jeremiah/10/10-15)).

**4, 5.** The terms used describe
the world in its whole extent, subject to God.

**6. come**—or, "enter,"
with solemn forms, as well as hearts.

**7.** This relation illustrates our
entire dependence (compare [Psalms 23:3](../../../kjv/psalms/23/3);
[Psalms 74:1](../../../kjv/psalms/74/1)). The last clause is
united by Paul ([Hebrews 3:7](../../../kjv/hebrews/3/7)) to the
following (compare [Psalms 81:8](../../../kjv/psalms/81/8)),

**8-11.** warning against neglect;
and this is sustained by citing the melancholy fate of their
rebellious ancestors, whose provoking insolence is described by
quoting the language of God's complaint () of their conduct at *Meribah* and *Massah,*
names given ([Exodus 17:7](../../../kjv/exodus/17/7)) to
commemorate their strife and contention with Him ([Psalms 78:18](../../../kjv/psalms/78/18);
[Psalms 78:41](../../../kjv/psalms/78/41)).

**10. err in their heart**—Their
wanderings in the desert were but types of their innate ignorance and
perverseness.
**that they should
not**—literally, "if they," c., part of the form of
swearing (compare [Numbers 14:30](../../../kjv/numbers/14/30)
[Psalms 89:35](../../../kjv/psalms/89/35)).

**8-11.** warning against neglect;
and this is sustained by citing the melancholy fate of their
rebellious ancestors, whose provoking insolence is described by
quoting the language of God's complaint () of their conduct at *Meribah* and *Massah,*
names given ([Exodus 17:7](../../../kjv/exodus/17/7)) to
commemorate their strife and contention with Him ([Psalms 78:18](../../../kjv/psalms/78/18);
[Psalms 78:41](../../../kjv/psalms/78/41)).
