Context of Psalms 95:6
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth, and the mountain peaks are his. 5The sea is his. He made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel in front of the Lord, our maker, 7because he is our God and we are the people in his care, the flock that he leads. If only you would listen to him today! 8“Do not be stubborn like ⌞my people were⌟ at Meribah, like the time at Massah in the desert.
