Context of Psalms 95:7
5The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before Yhwh our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice, 8Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness: 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
