For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, the sheep under His care. Today, if you hear His voice,
The psalmist sets before us two grounds for praising God: that He sustains all things by His power, and that He has freely adopted His Church into gracious covenant with Himself. But mere lip service will not do; God demands sincerity and a life that proves the people were not chosen in vain.

Commenting on Psalm 95:1-11
For he is our God. Here is the master reason for worship. Jehovah has entered into covenant with us, and from all the world beside has chosen us to be his own elect. If others refuse him homage, we at least will render it cheerfully. He is ours, and our God; ours, therefore will we love him; our God, therefore will we worship him.
Those who sing God's praises must live by His Word, for how can He hear prayers from those who will not hear His voice? Christ's sheep hear His voice and obey; if you call Him Lord, do what He commands. Hear Him today, for delay in such a matter of infinite weight is dangerous; tomorrow may never come.
