Context of Psalms 95:6
4In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. 5The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; 7for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care. Today, if only you would hear his voice, 8“Do not harden your hearts as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the wilderness,
