Arcana Coelestia # 9597
9597. 'With cherubs' means the Lord's watchfulness, guarding it from the approach of the hells and the harm they can do. This is clear from the meaning of 'cherubs' as watchfulness and providence, preventing any approach to the Lord except through good and protecting from harm the good from the Lord which exists in heaven and with man, dealt with in 9509, consequently guarding heaven from the approach of the hells and the harm they can do.
Psalms 95
1
O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3
For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods.
4
In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also.
5
The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.
6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.
7
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
8
Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness:
9
When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.
10
Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:
11
Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.
