Context of Psalms 95:9
7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, 8do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the day at Massah in the wilderness, when your fathers put me to the test and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work. 10For forty years I loathed that generation and said, "They are a people who go astray in their heart, and they have not known my ways." 11Therefore I swore in my wrath, "They shall not enter my rest."
