Psalm 95 Worksheet

NKJV Heading: A Call to Worship and Obedience.

Worship the God who has the whole __________________ in His hands! V. 1-7a

The LORD is called the Rock of our salvation in verse 1. God is referred to as our Rock 32 times in the Bible, ______________ times in the Psalms alone.

As it is written: Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, and whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame. -Romans 10:33 (Isa. 8:14, 28:16; 1 Pet. 2:7-8)

For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. -1 Corinthians 10:4

Verses 1-2 twice bid the worshipper to “__________________” into God’s presence singing and shouting joyfully, and then verses 3-5 say why (for…).

All the gods of the world are false gods, many of them based on something that has been created. But the hymn of verses 3-5 celebrate the great _________________ God whose “got the whole world in His hands!”

Notice the repetition of form in verses 6-7a. Verse 6 again bids the worshipper to “come” and bow down, and Verse 7a say why (for…).

The God powerful enough to make and form creation (transcendence) also personally keeps and cares for His people (imminence)! The Great King is also our Great ______________________!

Warning to trust and obey God, not __________________ His patience! V. 7b-11

The word for rebellion in verse 8 is also a place name, Meribah, referring to the events recorded in Numbers 20. The word for trial is also a place name, Massah, referring to the events recorded in Exodus 17 (see also Deut. 6:16; 33:8; Psalm 81:7; 106:32).

You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted Him in Massah. -Deut. 6:16

They angered Him at the waters of strife (Meribah), so that it went ill with Moses because of them. -Psalm 106:32
