Psalms 95:9

“When your fathers tempted me, etc.] Or, “where” f1364; that is, in the wilderness, particularly at Meribah and Massah; it was Christ they tempted, as appears from (<461009>1 Corinthians 10:9) proved me: had proof of his power, goodness, and mercy, in providing for them, and in the preservation of them: or “tried” f1365 him, his patience, longsuffering, and forbearance, by their repeated provocations of him: and saw my work; his work of judgment upon their enemies the Egyptians, by inflicting plagues upon them, and by the destruction of Pharaoh and his host at the Red sea; and his work of goodness to them, in bringing them out of bondage, leading them through the Red sea safely, raining manna…”

“When your fathers - Your ancestors. See this verse explained in the notes on Hebrews 3:9. Tempted me - Tried me; tried my patience, to see how much I would bear. This does not mean, as it commonly does now with us, to place inducements before one to lead him into sin, but to try one - to put his patience to the test. This they did, in the case referred to, by their obduracy and evil conduct. Proved me - See the notes at Hebrews 3:9. “And saw my work.” Though they constantly saw my work; saw my gracious interpositions; saw what I was doing for their own good. return to 'Top of Page'”
