Psalm PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 95:1. This psalm encourages its singers to learn from the rebellion of a previous generation. They should faithfully heed God’s “voice” (vv. Psalms 95:7). The psalm sees the Israelites’ grumbling against Moses at Meribah and Massah as an early indication of their persistent unbelief, which caused them to refuse to enter the land. The psalm has two parts. The first is a celebration of God’s kingship and the privilege that his people enjoy as they worship him (vv. Psalms 95:1). The second is a warning not to repeat the rebellion of their ancestors (vv. Psalms 95:7).
