psalm-95:1-5

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

O come, let us sing unto the Lord ,.... To Jehovah the Messiah, the Lord our righteousness; setting forth, in songs of praise, the glory of his person, the riches of his grace, and our thankfulness to him for spiritual mercies by him: Christ is to be the subject of our spiritual songs, and is the person to whose honour and glory they should be directed: in the New Testament we are instructed to sing unto the Lord, the Lord Christ, Ephesians 5:19 , and this is what Pliny F1 Ep. l. 10.... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:2

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving ,.... Come with the sacrifice of praise, there being no other in the days of the Messiah, all ceremonial sacrifices being put an end to when his sacrifice was offered up; so Arama observes, that the offering of thanksgiving shall remain, or be left in the days of the Messiah; come with this to Christ as a priest, to offer it by him to God his Father, to whom it is acceptable through him, and with this to himself for the great salvation he has... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:3

For the Lord is a great God ,.... Christ is truly and properly God, wherefore divine service is to be performed unto him; particularly singing psalms, setting forth therein his greatness and glory: and he is a great one; great in power, wisdom, justice, truth, mercy, and grace; greatness is to be ascribed unto him, and worship given him, because of his greatness, Titus 2:13 . and a great King over all gods ; he is King of the whole world; his kingdom ruleth over all; he is King of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:4

In his hand are the deep places of the earth ,.... The "penetrals" F3 מחקרי "penetralia terrae", Musculus, Piscator, Gejerus, Michaelis. of it; not only what are penetrated by men, the minerals that are in it; but what are of such deep recess as to be penetrated only by the Lord himself; these are in the hands and power of Christ, which he can search into, discover, and dispose of; these are the foundations of the earth, which cannot be searched out beneath by men, Jeremiah 31:37 ,... 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 95:1

O come, let us sing - Let us praise God, not only with the most joyful accents which can be uttered by the voice; but let us also praise him with hearts tuned to gratitude, from a full sense of the manifold benefits we have already received. The rock of our salvation - The strong Fortress in which we have always found safety, and the Source whence we have always derived help for our souls. In both these senses the word rock, as applied to God, is used in the Scriptures. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:2

Let us come before his presence - פניו panaiv , his faces, with thanksgiving, בתודה bethodah , with confession, or with the confession-offering. Praise him for what he has all ready done, and confess your unworthiness of any of his blessings. The confession-offering, the great atoning sacrifice, can alone render your acknowledgment of sin and thanksgiving acceptable to a holy and just God. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:3

For the Lord is a great God - Or, "A great God is Jehovah, and a great King above all gods;" or, "God is a great King over all." The Supreme Being has three names here: אל El , יהוה Jehovah , אלהים Elohim , and we should apply none of them to false gods. The first implies his strength; the second his being and essence; the third, his covenant relation to mankind. In public worship these are the views we should entertain of the Divine Being. read more
