Context of Psalms 95:6
4He holds in his hands the depths of the earth and the mightiest mountains. 5The sea belongs to him, for he made it. His hands formed the dry land, too. Come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker, 7for he is our God. We are the people he watches over, the flock under his care. If only you would listen to his voice today! 8The Lord says, “Don’t harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah, as they did at Massah in the wilderness.
