Context of Psalms 95:7
5The sea is His, for He made it [by His command]; And His hands formed the dry land. 6O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer]. For He is our God And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice, 8Do not harden your hearts and become spiritually dull as at Meribah [the place of strife], And as at Massah [the place of testing] in the wilderness, 9“When your fathers tested Me, They tried Me, even though they had seen My work [of miracles].

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7For he is our God - Here is the reason for this service.
