Psalm 95:5 KJV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 95:1-6

The psalmist here, as often elsewhere, stirs up himself and others to praise God; for it is a duty which ought to be performed with the most lively affections, and which we have great need to be excited to, being very often backward to it and cold in it. Observe, I. How God is to be praised. 1. With holy joy and delight in him. The praising song must be a joyful noise, Ps. 95:1 and again Ps. 95:2. Spiritual joy is the heart and soul of thankful praise. It is the will of God (such is the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:5

The sea is his, and he made it ,.... He made it, and therefore it is, and all creatures in it; he sets bounds to it, and its waves, and restrains the raging of it at his pleasure, Matthew 8:26 , and his hands formed the dry land ; the whole world, all besides the sea, the vast continent; he is the Maker of it, and all creatures in it; without him was nothing made that is made; and, being the Creator of all things, is the proper object of worship, John 1:2 , as follows. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:5

The sea is his - The sea and the dry land are equally his, for he has formed them both, and they are his property. He governs and disposes of them as he sees good. He is the absolute Master of universal nature. Therefore there is no other object of worship nor of confidence. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

In the Septuagint the psalm is ascribed to David, and this view seems to have been taken by the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews ( Hebrews 4:7 ). But modern critics are generally of opinion that the style is not that of the Davidical psalms. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

The invitatory psalm. It has been thus called in Christian Liturgies throughout Christendom, and chiefly because of its fervent invitation to praise. But it is also an equally earnest invitation to hearken and to believe. Let us take that which stands at the beginning, and consider— I. THE INVITATION TO PRAISE . In this is shown: 1 . To whom the praise is to be rendered. It is to Jehovah, the Rock of our salvation. 2 . Think of the many ministries which the word " ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

Public worship-its necessity and advantage. I. ITS NATURE . 1 . Thanksgiving and praise. ( Psalms 95:1 , Psalms 95:2 .) We need special seasons for thinking over our privileges and cultivating gratitude, and the utterance of the spirit of praise. 2 . Adoration and prayer. ( Psalms 95:6 .) God's love thus a cause for our cleansing. Christ's promises and grace inexhaustible. Who can drink the river of his love dry? Confession and supplication. 3 . Listening to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:4-5

The beautiful and sublime calling to devotion. There is a remarkable diversity in the psalms. Some express the struggling of earnest souls with the moral difficulties and mysteries of life (see Asaph's psalms). Some express the varieties of experience characterizing individual religious experience (see Psalms 42:1-11 .). The psalm now before us is one that expresses the influences of the varied aspects of nature upon the culture of religions life and feeling (see also Psalms 19:1-14 ; ... read more

The material universe and its lessons. "In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands formed the dry land." The material universe suggests— I. THE PROFOUND MYSTERY OF SELF - EXISTENCE . Is it eternal, self-existent; or has it come from God in the way of direct creation or evolution? Self-existence an impossible conception, whether of the universe or of God; but it is also impossible to... read more
