Psalm 95:10-11 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 95:7-11

The latter part of this psalm, which begins in the middle of a verse, is an exhortation to those who sing gospel psalms to live gospel lives, and to hear the voice of God's word; otherwise, how can they expect that he should hear the voice of their prayers and praises? Observe, I. The duty required of all those that are the people of Christ's pasture and the sheep of his hand. He expects that they hear his voice, for he has said, My sheep hear my voice, John 10:27. We are his people, say they.... read more

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation ,.... The generation of the wilderness, as the Jews commonly call them; and which was a stubborn and a rebellious one, whose heart and spirit were not right with God, Psalm 78:8 , wherefore, speaking after the manner of men, God was grieved with them, as he was with the old world, Genesis 6:6 , or he was "weary" of them, and "loathed" them as the word F12 אקוט "fastidio habui", Montanus, Junius & Tremellius, Gejerus, so... read more

Unto whom I sware in my wrath ,.... Being angry with them, he sware for the confirmation of what he said; the form of the oath was, "as truly as I live"; he sware by himself, for he could swear by no greater; see Numbers 14:21 . that they should not enter into my rest ; the land of Canaan, or Israel, as Kimchi; which the Lord provided, promised, and gave to the Israelites, as their rest; the land of Israel and Jerusalem, as Jarchi; or the house of the sanctuary, the temple, as the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:10

Forty years long - They did nothing but murmur, disbelieve, and rebel, from the time they began their journey at the Red Sea till they passed over Jordan, a period of forty years. During all this time God was grieved by that generation; yet he seldom showed forth that judgment which they most righteously had deserved. It is a people that do err in their heart - Or, according to the Chaldee, These are a people whose idols are in their hearts. At any rate they had not God there. They... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:10

Verse 10 10.Forty years I strove with this generation (67) The Psalmist brings it forward as an aggravation of their perverse obstinacy, that God strove with them for so long a time without effect. Occasionally it will happen that there is a violent manifestation of perversity which soon subsides; but God complains that he had constant grounds of contention with his people, throughout the whole forty years. And this proves to us the incurable waywardness of that people. The word generation is... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:11

Verse 11 11.Wherefore I have sworn in my wrath I see no objection to the relative אשר, asher, being understood in its proper sense and reading — To whom I have sworn. The Greek version, taking it for a mark of similitude, reads, As I have sworn But I think that it may be properly considered as expressing an inference or conclusion; not as if they were then at last deprived of the promised inheritance when they tempted God, but the Psalmist, having spoken, in the name of God, of that obstinacy... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

In the Septuagint the psalm is ascribed to David, and this view seems to have been taken by the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews ( Hebrews 4:7 ). But modern critics are generally of opinion that the style is not that of the Davidical psalms. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

The invitatory psalm. It has been thus called in Christian Liturgies throughout Christendom, and chiefly because of its fervent invitation to praise. But it is also an equally earnest invitation to hearken and to believe. Let us take that which stands at the beginning, and consider— I. THE INVITATION TO PRAISE . In this is shown: 1 . To whom the praise is to be rendered. It is to Jehovah, the Rock of our salvation. 2 . Think of the many ministries which the word " ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

Public worship-its necessity and advantage. I. ITS NATURE . 1 . Thanksgiving and praise. ( Psalms 95:1 , Psalms 95:2 .) We need special seasons for thinking over our privileges and cultivating gratitude, and the utterance of the spirit of praise. 2 . Adoration and prayer. ( Psalms 95:6 .) God's love thus a cause for our cleansing. Christ's promises and grace inexhaustible. Who can drink the river of his love dry? Confession and supplication. 3 . Listening to... read more
