For 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.

In 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.

For 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.

Harden 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.

When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
*Works* — Both of mercy, and of justice.

Forty 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.

Unto 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, [Deuteronomy 12:9](../../../kjv/deuteronomy/12/9).
