Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap.

0:12.8

We don't know who wrote any of the Psalms we read today, but they're all really descriptive,

0:17.7

picturesque Psalms, so it makes me wonder if they were written by the same person.

0:22.2

Psalm 95 opens with praise and reminds the listener that God isn't just supreme over the earthly

0:27.1

realm, he's supreme over the spiritual realm as well. He's worthy of worship, and especially the

0:33.1

worship of his people. It's not entirely evident in the English version of verse six, but in this short

0:39.2

verse, which says, Oh, come, let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord our maker.

0:46.2

He's describing three different postures for worshiping God. Bowing and down are two separate acts,

0:53.9

and kneeling is another act. These are humble postures of

0:57.7

1:12.5

shepherd, the one who is attentive to us and feeds us and watches over us. He calls us the sheep of

1:18.5

his hand. It's a much more intimate relational picture. And both things are true of our relationship

1:24.9

with God. He's our maker and he's our shepherd. He doesn't just

1:29.5

make us and then leave us on our own. He's with us all the time, watching over us. The psalmist begs

1:37.0

the listener not to harden their hearts to such great truths, and he references the Israelites

1:42.1

who did have hardened hearts. They didn't know God's ways and they

1:46.1

missed out on the beautiful complexity of this kind of relationship with him, the kind that brings rest

1:51.6

and restoration. Psalm 97 reiterates God's supremacy over everything. He depicts God as a thunderstorm

1:59.6

with lightning that strikes and consumes his

2:01.9

enemies. He also says God melts the mountains like wax, which is a direct affront to all the
