Psalm 95:7-11

7 Porque él es nuestro Diosy nosotros somos el pueblo de su prado;¡somos un rebaño bajo su cuidado!Si ustedes oyen hoy su voz,

8 no endurezcan el corazón, como en Meribá,^[a]como aquel día en Masá,^[b] en el desierto,

9 cuando sus antepasados me tentaron,cuando me pusieron a prueba,a pesar de haber visto mis obras.

10 Cuarenta años estuve enojadocon aquella generación,y dije: «Son un pueblo mal encaminadoque no reconoce mis senderos».

11 Así que, en mi enojo, hice este juramento:«Jamás entrarán en mi reposo».

Psalm 95:7-11 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 95

This psalm, though without a title, was written by David, as appears from Heb 4:7, and to him the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions ascribe it. It belongs to the times of the Messiah, as Kimchi observes; the apostle applies it to the Jews of his time, and bespeaks them in the language of it, Heb 3:7-11, and in which time Israelites, believers in Christ, are called upon to serve and worship him, in consideration of his greatness in himself, and his goodness to them. Theodoret thinks that David spoke prophetically of King Josiah and his times; and wrote it in the person of him, and the priests of God.
