Psalms 95
An invitation to worship with joy, kneeling before God our Maker. But it warns: do not harden your hearts as Israel did at Meribah and Massah. Hebrews quotes this psalm extensively as a warning against unbelief.
Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout to the Rock of our salvation!
Let us enter His presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to Him in song.
For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
In His hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to Him.
The sea is His, for He made it, and His hands formed the dry land.
O 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, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts

Their hearts are always going astray; they have not known my ways

Read Hebrews 3 ›So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

Now we who have believed enter that rest. As for the others, it is just as God has said: “So I swore on oath in My anger, ‘They shall never enter My rest.’” And yet His works have been finished since the foundation of the world.
