Psalm 95
1. An exhortation to praise God
3. For his greatness
6. And for his goodness
8. And not to tempt him














(10) See Notes, Hebrews 3:17, New Testament Commentary.

I grieved.--Better, I loathed.

A people that do err.--Literally, a people of wanderers in heart. They are morally astray through ignorance of God's paths.

Verse 10. - Forty years long was I grieved with this generation; rather, with that generation - the generation that tempted God in the wilderness (see the Revised Version). And said, It is a people that do err in their heart; literally, a people of wanderers in heart are these; i.e. "not only are they a people whose feet wander (Psalm 107:4), but their hearts also have wandered and gone astray from my paths." And they have not known my ways. "My ways - the ways of my commandments - are unknown to them, untrodden by them."
