Context of Psalms 95:9
7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, the sheep under his care. Today, if you hear his voice: 8Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah in the wilderness where your ancestors tested me; they tried me, though they had seen what I did. 10For forty years I was disgusted with that generation; I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray; they do not know my ways.” 11So I swore in my anger, “They will not enter my rest.”
