Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

INTRODUCTION“This Psalm is one of a series intended for the Temple worship, and possibly composed for some festal occasion. Both the joyfulness of its opening verses, and its general character, in which it resembles the 81st Psalm, would render it suitable for some of the great national feasts.“As to the date of its composition nothing certain can be said. The LXX call it a Psalm of David; and the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, in making a quotation from the Psalm, uses the expression... read more

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 95:1-11

The Jews with one consent refer this psalm to the days of the Messiah. St. Paul had therefore the fullest authority for addressing it to the Hebrews. It was composed by David, when God had put all adjacent nations under his power. Psalms 95:7 . We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. The Chaldee and the Vulgate read, “We are the people of his hand, and the sheep of his pasture.” He made us a people, and delivered us by his right hand, and he feeds us as sheep are fed in... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:1-2

1, 2. Let us sing unto the Lord In Psalms 95:1-2, the language describes the most jubilant and noisy demonstrations known in the Hebrew worship. Yet it is carefully chastened with reverence by the designation “ to Jehovah,” “ to the rock of our salvation;” also by the quality of the loud shouting, namely, with thanksgiving and with psalms, which belonged to the regular order of worship. The occasion was not one of mourning, confession of sin, and penitence, but of triumph, praise,... read more
