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 the LORD our Maker: For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, Oh that ye would hear his voice! 8Harden not your heart, as at Meribah, as in the day of Massah in the wilderness: 9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
