Verse 7
(7) Again, he limiteth.—Better, He again marketh out (or, defineth). The next step taken (see the last Note) is to point out that, long after the occupation of Canaan, the Psalmist—God speaking in the Psalm—says “To-day,” in pleading with Israel. The implied meaning is as if He said, “Harden not your hearts today, lest I swear unto you also, Ye shall not enter into My rest.”
In David.—Probably this is equivalent to saying, In the Book of Psalms. In the LXX., however, Psalms 95:0 is ascribed to David.
After so long a time.—The period intervening between the divine sentence on the rebels in the wilderness (Numbers 14:0) and the time of the Psalmist.
As it is said.—The best MSS. read, as it hath been before said.
Be the first to react on this!
