An exhortation to praise God3. For his greatness 6. And for his goodness 8. And not to tempt him So I swore in My anger This phrase reflects a solemn declaration made by God, emphasizing the seriousness of His response to the disobedience and unbelief of the Israelites. The Hebrew word for "swore" (נִשְׁבַּעְתִּי, nishba'ti) conveys a binding oath, underscoring the irrevocable nature of God's decision. The mention of "anger" (אַף, aph) highlights God's righteous indignation, a response to the persistent rebellion of His people. This phrase serves as a sobering reminder of the consequences of hardening one's heart against God's voice, as seen in the historical context of the Israelites' wilderness journey. They shall never enter My rest Rest.--This is, of course, the Promised Land, as the context unmistakably shows. The freedom taken with the passage by the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, in order to make the psalm point us to a "future" rest, was such as Jewish doctors ordinarily used, and of which other instances occur in the New Testament--notably St. Paul's argument in Galatians 3:16. Verse 11. - Unto whom I sware in my wrath; rather, so that that I sware in my wrath, or "wherefore I sware in my wrath" (for the oath itself, see Numbers 14:21-23; and comp. Deuteronomy 1:34, 35). That they should not enter into my rest. The "rest" originally intended was that of Canaan, when "the Lord gave rest unto Israel from all their enemies round about" (Joshua 23:1). But Canaan was a type of the heavenly rest; and the warning given to the Israel of his day by the present psalmist is to be regarded as a warning that, if they followed in the steps of their forefathers, they might miss of that final and crowning "rest," which, after the wilderness of this world is traversed, still "remaineth for the people of God" (see Hebrews 3:7-19; Hebrews 4:1-9).
