95
Context: During the Exodus. Reference to early in exodus or after the judgment of 40 years in desert. Ps 95:8 references the events at Massah [Testing] in the desert. (Ex 17:7 (context 17:1-7); Num 11:20-25) (Consider also Ex 6:6-7, Num 11:18-23, 14:11-25, 26:64-65; Deut 1:25-40, 9:27-28; Joshua [Salvation Yah] 4:20-24)
1 Oh come, let’s sing to Adonai .
Let’s shout aloud to the rock of our yesha' ·salvation·!
2 Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving.
Let’s extol him with songs!
3 For Adonai is a great God,
a great King above all deities.
4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth.
The heights of the mountains are also his.
5 The sea is his, and he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let’s worship and hawa ·bow low, prostrate·.
Let’s kneel before Yahweh 'Oseinu [Yahweh our Maker],
7 for he is our God.
We are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep in his care.
Today, oh that you would sh'ma ·hear obey· his voice!
8 Don’t harden your heart, as at Meribah [Quarreling],
as in the day of Massah [Testing] in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers tempted me,
tested me, and saw my work.
10 Forty long years I loathed that generation,
and said, “This is a people that errors in their heart.
They have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
“They won’t enter into my rest.”
