PSALM—NOTE ON Psalms 95:11 They shall not enter my rest. In the wilderness context, the “rest” is specifically the land (see Deuteronomy 12:9; finally secured during David’s reign, see 2 Samuel 7:1, 2 Samuel 7:11). Since the singing congregation is already in the land, it seems that the psalm is using “rest” as an image of enjoying God’s presence forever (much as Hebrews 4:1, Hebrews 4:11 does).
