Since therefore it remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because of disobedience, again He designates a certain day, saying in David, “Today,” after such a long time, as it has been said:

A Call to Worship and Obedience

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord!
Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving;
Let us shout joyfully to Him with (A)psalms.
For (B)the Lord is the great God,
And the great King above all gods.
[a]In His hand are the deep places of the earth;
The heights of the hills are His also.
(C)The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
Let (D)us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For He is our God,
And (E)we are the people of His pasture,
And the sheep [b]of His hand.

(F)Today, if you will hear His voice:
“Do not harden your hearts, as in the [c]rebellion,
(G)As in the day of [d]trial in the wilderness,
When (H)your fathers tested Me;
They tried Me, though they (I)saw My work.
10 For (J)forty years I was [e]grieved with that generation,
And said, ‘It is a people who go astray in their hearts,
And they do not know My ways.’
11 So (K)I swore in My wrath,
‘They shall not enter My rest.’ ”
