<p id="Ps95_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',95,'1-11');">Psa 95:1-11</a>.
<p>David (<a onclick="return mV('Hbr',4,7);">Hbr 4:7</a>) exhorts men to praise God for His greatness, and warns them, in God's words, against neglecting His service.
<p><b>1.</b> The terms used to express the highest kind of joy.
<br><br><b>rock</b>&#8212;a firm basis, giving certainty of salvation (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',62,7);">Psa 62:7</a>).
<p id="Ps95_2"><b>2. come...presence</b>&#8212;literally, "approach," or, meet Him (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',17,13);">Psa 17:13</a>).
<p id="Ps95_3"><b>3. above...gods</b>&#8212;esteemed such by men, though really nothing (<a onclick="return mV('Jer',5,7);">Jer 5:7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Jer',10,'10-15');">10:10-15</a>).
<p id="Ps95_4"><b>4, 5.</b> The terms used describe the world in its whole extent, subject to God.
<p id="Ps95_6"><b>6. come</b>&#8212;or, "enter," with solemn forms, as well as hearts.
<p id="Ps95_7"><b>7.</b> This relation illustrates our entire dependence (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',23,3);">Psa 23:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',74,1);">74:1</a>). The last clause is united by Paul (<a onclick="return mV('Hbr',3,7);">Hbr 3:7</a>) to the following (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',81,8);">Psa 81:8</a>),
<p id="Ps95_8"><b>8-11.</b> 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 (<a onclick="return mV('Num',14,11);">Num 14:11</a>) of their conduct at <i>Meribah</i> and <i>Massah,</i> names given (<a onclick="return mV('Exd',17,7);">Exd 17:7</a>) to commemorate their strife and contention with Him (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',78,18,41);">Psa 78:18, 41</a>).
<p id="Ps95_10"><b>10. err in their heart</b>&#8212;Their wanderings in the desert were but types of their innate ignorance and perverseness.
<br><br><b>that they should not</b>&#8212;literally, "if they," etc., part of the form of swearing (compare <a onclick="return mV('Num',14,30);">Num 14:30</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',89,35);">Psa 89:35</a>).
