Context of Psalms 95:6

4In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also. 5The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker: 7For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice! 8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness;
