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, gladness, which accords naturally with the associations of the feast of tabernacles.

The rock Christ, to whom the author of Hebrews (Hebrews 3:6) applies the psalm. The Septuagint reads, “God our Saviour.”
