Notes

Psalms 95:9

Israel's ancestors saw the Lord's wonders but did not understand their importance (see Psalm 92:5–6).

Psalms 95:8–11

If people want to enter into the Lord’s rest, they need to respond immediately (see Hebrews 3:7–4:11).

Psalms 95:1–11

This call to worship urges the people to respond to the Lord, the Shepherd, and to follow him faithfully. The previous generation, who refused to obey, did not receive the blessings of the promised land.

Psalms 93:1–100:5

These psalms challenge the doubts created by the exile (see Psalm 89) and answer the questions asked in Psalm 90:11, 13. The Lord has established a kingdom (Psalm 93) that is characterized by:

punishment of the wicked (Psalm 94),
respectful obedience among his people (Psalm 95),
justice for the poor (Psalm 96),
celebration in Zion (Psalm 97),
salvation for Israel (Psalm 98),
holiness (Psalm 99), and
praise (Psalm 100).
