Wherefore - In view of the fact that the Author of the Christian dispensation has a rank far superior to that of Moses. Because Christ has claims on us far greater than those which Moses had, let us hearken to his voice, and dread his displeasure. As the Holy Ghost saith - In Psa 95:7-11.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 3160: “The Call of 'Today'” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1909)

They have long ago retired from the business of life, but still they are accustomed to indulge in the recollections of what they did in days gone by.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

The Psalm, each fresh time when used in public worship, by "to-day," will mean the particular day when it was, or is, used. hear--obediently. his voice--of grace.
