To day if ye will hear his voice, 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, *and* as *in* the day of temptation in the wilderness:* 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. 10 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: 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.* [Psalms 94](/study/psalms/94) [Psalms 96](/study/psalms/96) ## Commentary To verse 1 This Psalm is also without a *title*, both in the *Hebrew* and *Chaldee*: but is attributed to *David* by the *Vulgate, Septuagint,* *AEthiopic, Arabic*, and *Syriac*; and by the *author* of the Epistle to the Hebrews, [Hebrews 4:3-7](/kjv/hebrews/4/3-7). *Calmet* and other eminent critics believe that it was composed during the time of the *captivity*, and that the apostle only followed the *common opinion* in quoting it as the production of *David*, because in general the Psalter was attributed to him. The Psalm is a solemn invitation to the people, when assembled for public worship, to praise God from a sense of his great goodness; and to be attentive to the instructions they were about to receive from the reading and expounding of the law; and or these accounts it has been long used in the Christian Church, at the commencement of public service, to prepare the people's minds to worship God in spirit and in truth. *Houbigant*, and other learned divines, consider this Psalm as composed of *three* parts. 1. The part of the *people*, [Psalms 95:1](/kjv/psalms/95/1) to the middle of [Psalms 95:7](/kjv/psalms/95/7). 2. The part of the *priest* or *prophet*, from the middle of [Psalms 95:7](/kjv/psalms/95/7) to the end of [Psalms 95:8](/kjv/psalms/95/8). 3. The part of *Jehovah*, [Psalms 95:9-11](/kjv/psalms/95/9-11). It is written as a part of the preceding Psalm by *nine* of *Kennicott's* and *De Rossi's* MSS.; but certainly it must have been originally an ode by itself, as the subject is widely different from that in the foregoing. Verse [Psalms 95:1](/kjv/psalms/95/1). ***O come, let us sing*** — Let us *praise* God, not only with the most joyful accents which can be uttered by the *voice*; but let us also praise him with *hearts* tuned to gratitude, from a full sense of the manifold benefits we have already received. ***The rock of our salvation.*** — The strong *Fortress* in which we have always found *safety*, and the *Source* whence we have always derived *help* for our souls. In both these senses the word *rock*, as applied to God, is used in the Scriptures. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/search?q={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/_app/immutable/assets/missing.C7wGMEZ6.jpg","width":672,"height":448,"caption":"Real Bible Believers"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95","name":"Psalms 95 - Study King James Bible with clarkes commentary","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95#primaryimage"},"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"Read Psalms 95 with clarkes commentary commentary. 1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and mak","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95"]}]},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/","name":"Home"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study","name":"Study Bible"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary","name":"clarkes commentary"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms","name":"Psalms"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":5,"item":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/study/clarkes-commentary/psalms/95","name":"95"}}]},{"@type":["Person","Organization"],"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","contentUrl":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/android-chrome-512x512.png","width":512,"height":512},"logo":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#personlogo"},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/RBiblebeliever","https://www.facebook.com/RBibleBelievers"]}]} ```
