Psalms 95:1 - Exposition

O come, let us sing unto the Lord. From this opening phrase, which finds an echo in Psalms 95:2 and Psalms 95:6 , this psalm has been called "The Invitatory Psalm." As it invited the Jews, so it now invites Christian congregations, to join in the worship of the sanctuary. Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation (comp. Psalms 33:3 ; Psalms 98:4 ). Loudness of voice was regarded as indicating earnestness of heart (see 2 Chronicles 20:19 ; Ezra 3:13 ; Nehemiah 12:42 , etc.). The expression, "Rock of our salvation" is taken from Deuteronomy 32:15 . It is well paraphrased in our Prayer book Version, "the strength of our salvation."
