Psalms 95:7-11

-Warning against hardening the heart, and so forfeiting the Lord's promised rest, like the unbelieving Israelities in the wilderness.

Verse 7 For he is our God. The "For" introduces the agreement justifying the preceding assertion that "the shall enter into my rest;' a formula of swearing an emphatic negative. The very formula used in , margin; Ps. 95:30; , "my rest" is "the rest and the inheritance (in Canaan) which the Lord their God gave" ().
