Psalm 95:6 NIV

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 95:6

O come, let us worship and bow down ,.... Before him who is the Rock of our salvation, the great God and great King, the Creator of the ends of the earth, the proper object of all religious worship and adoration: Christ is to be worshipped with every part of external worship under the New Testament dispensation; psalms and songs of praise are to be sung unto him; prayer is to be made unto him; the Gospel is to be preached, and ordinances to be administered, in his name; and likewise with all... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:6

O come, let us worship - Three distinct words are used here to express three different acts of adoration: Let us worship, נשתחוה nishtachaveh , let us prostrate ourselves; the highest act of adoration by which the supremacy of God is acknowledged. Let us bow down, נכרעה nichraah , let us crouch or cower down, bending the legs under, as a dog in the presence of his master, which solicitously waits to receive his commands. Let us kneel, נברכה nibrachah , let us put our knees... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:6

Verse 6 6.Come ye, let us worship Now that the Psalmist exhorts God’s chosen people to gratitude, for that pre-eminency among the nations which he had conferred upon them in the exercise of his free favor, his language grows more vehement. God supplies us with ample grounds of praise when he invests us with spiritual distinction, and advances us to a pre-eminency above the rest of mankind which rests upon no merits of our own. In three successive terms he expresses the one duty incumbent upon... 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 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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 95:6

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel. The outward and visible worship of the body is required of man, no less than the inward and spiritual worship of the soul. Before the Lord our Maker ; i.e. "who has made us what we are—created us, redeemed us, taken us to be his people" (comp. Deuteronomy 32:6 ; Psalms 100:3 ; Psalms 102:18 ; Psalms 149:2 ; Isaiah 29:23 ; Isaiah 43:21 ; Isaiah 44:2 , etc.). read more
