Psalm 95:10-11 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:10

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation; rather, with that generation— the generation that tempted God in the wilderness (see the Revised Version). And said, It is a people that do err in their heart; literally, a people of wanderers in heart are these; i.e. "not only are they a people whose feet wander ( Psalms 107:4 ), but their hearts also have wandered and gone astray from my paths." And they have not known my ways. "My ways—the ways of my commandments—are unknown... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:11

Unto whom I sware in my wrath; rather, so that that I sware in my wrath, or "wherefore I sware in my wrath" (for the oath itself, see Numbers 14:21-23 ; and comp. Deuteronomy 1:34 , Deuteronomy 1:35 ). That they should not enter into my rest. The "rest" originally intended was that of Canaan, when "the Lord gave rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about" ( Joshua 23:1 ). But Canaan was a type of the heavenly rest; and the warning given to the Israel of his day by the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:11

Divine judgments on the unbeleving. "They should not enter into my rest." As the reference is clearly to the murmurings of the Israelites at Meribah, the "rest" referred to can only be the anticipated rest of settlement in the promised land of Canaan. The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews finds a further meaning, or rather suggestion, in the word; but we may seek for the first and direct teaching of the passage. 1 . Notice that God is said to have been grieved with the effort made... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 95:10

Forty years long - All the time that they were in the wilderness. During this long period their conduct was such as to try my patience and forbearance.Was I grieved - The word used here - קוט qûṭ - means properly to loathe, to nauseate, to be disgusted with. It is translated “loathe” in Ezekiel 6:9; Ezekiel 20:43; Ezekiel 36:31; and grieved in Psalms 119:158; Psalms 139:21. It is here expressive of the strong abhorrence which God had of their conduct. Compare Revelation 3:16.With this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 95:11

Unto whom I sware in my wrath - See the notes at Hebrews 3:11.That they should not enter into my rest - Margin, as in Hebrew, “If they enter into my rest.” The “rest” here referred to was the land of Canaan. They were not permitted to enter there as a place of “rest” after their long and weary wanderings, but died in the wilderness. The meaning is not that none of them were saved (for we must hope that very many of them were brought to the heavenly Canaan), but that they did not come to the... read more

Psalms 95:10. Forty years long, &c. Nor did they cease their discontented murmurings and distrust of me; but persisted in their stubborn infidelity and disobedience for the space of forty years; was I grieved with this generation Or rather, with that generation, which then lived, who were your ancestors; and said, It is a people that do err in their heart They not only sin through infirmity, and the violence and surprise of temptation, but their hearts are insincere and... read more

Psalms 95:11. Unto whom I sware in my wrath, &c. In my just displeasure, I passed an irreversible sentence upon them, and confirmed it by an oath: that they should not enter into my rest Into the promised land, so called Deuteronomy 12:9; 1 Chronicles 23:25, of which sentence, see Numbers 14:0. Now this case of the Israelites, who were prohibited from entering Canaan, is here applied by the psalmist. 1st, To those of their posterity who lived when this Psalm was composed, and they are... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

Psalms 95-96 God the creator of the universeSix psalms, 95 to 100, are grouped so as to form a series for use in temple worship. The first psalm opens by calling people to worship God because he is the saviour (95:1-2), the great God (3), the creator and controller of the universe (4-5), the maker of the human race (6) and, above all, the covenant Lord and shepherd of his people (7). Worship, however, must be joined to obedience. Israel’s experiences in the wilderness show that people might... read more
