Now in v6, the tone changes to be solemn, indicated by kneeling. When we are singing joyfully, we should have the freedom to follow the Spirit to become solemn before the Lord and vice-versa.</div> <bR> <div> Some Jewish teachers teach that Jews should not kneel to God when we worship Him.

The remaining verses 8-11 are God's speaking in the 1st person.</div> <div>  In the midst of praising the Lord with a joyful noise and then and bowing down and kneeling before Him, the Lord speaks to us a warning to not harden our hearts, especially when we hear His voice. What does it mean to harden our hearts when we hear his voice? In my experience, it means to reject a thought out of hand because of teachings I have bought into. If a thought or question comes to me that may be the Lord's speaking, I need to seriously consider whether it is true or not. Is there anything in the Bible to support it? If there are verses in the Bible against it, am I sure they really mean what I thought.</div> <div>  <A NAME="n9"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> <A HREF="psalm_95_m.htm#9" TARGET="TRLX_Middle" TITLE="Psalm 95 Do not harden your hearts">v9</A> - Do not trust that something is true because your church fathers or natural fathers taught it.
