Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah;
Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving;
Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
For Jehovah is a great God,
And a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth;
The {Or, strength}heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, and he made it;
And his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker:
For he is our God,
And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
To-day, {Or, if ye will hear his voice, Harden &c.}oh that ye would hear his voice!
Harden not your heart, as at {That is, strife.}Meribah,
As in the day of {That is, temptation.}Massah in the wilderness;
When your fathers tempted me,
Proved me, and saw my work.
Forty years long was I grieved with that generation,
And said, It is a people that do err in their heart,
And they have not known my ways:
Wherefore I sware in my wrath,
That they should not enter into my rest.
Querverweise zu Psalm 95,8 Ps 95,8
But when Pharaoh saw that there was respite, he {Hebrew: made heavy.}hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them, as Jehovah had spoken.
Wherefore the people strove with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why strive ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt Jehovah?
Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts? When he had {Or, made a mock of}wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let {Hebrew: them.}the people go, and they departed?
And he called the name of the place {That is, Tempting, or, Proving.}Massah, and {That is, Chiding, or Strife.}Meribah, because of the striving of the children of Israel, and because they tempted Jehovah, saying, Is Jehovah among us, or not?
But when his heart was lifted up, and his spirit was hardened so that he dealt proudly, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
And Jehovah said unto Moses, How long will this people despise me? and how long will they not believe in me, for all the signs which I have wrought among them?
But when some were hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the multitude, he departed from them, and separated the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.
because all those men that have seen my glory, and my signs, which I wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not hearkened to my voice;
but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
How long shall I bear with this evil congregation, that murmur against me? I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel, which they murmur against me.
but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin:
These are the waters of {That is, Strife.}Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and he {Or, showed himself holy}was sanctified in them.
See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him {Or, that is from heaven}that warneth from heaven:
And Jehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see the good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
Ye shall not tempt Jehovah your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation,Like as in the day of the trial in the wilderness,
{Or, Wherewith}Where your fathers tried me by proving me,And saw my works forty years.
while it is said, {Psalm 95:7 f.}To-day if ye shall hear his voice,Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
For who, when they heard, did provoke? nay, did not all they that came out of Egypt by Moses?
And with whom was he displeased forty years? was it not with them that sinned, whose {Greek: limbs.}bodies fell in the wilderness?
And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient?
And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief.
Now I desire to put you in remembrance, though ye know all things once for all, that {Many very ancient authorities read Jesus.}the Lord, having saved a people out of the land of Egypt, {Greek: the second time.}afterward destroyed them that believed not.
