psalm-95:6

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 95:1-11

Admonition to Praise Jehovah and Hear His Word. By comparing verse 8 of this psalm with Hebrews 4:7, we find that it should be ascribed to David, either written by him personally or by one of his singers. v. 1. O come, let us sing unto the Lord, this appeal sounding again and again in Scripture on account of the natural inertia and sluggishness of men; let us make a joyful noise, in the highest exultation, to the Rock of our salvation. v. 2. Let us come before His presence, literally,... read more

Psalms 95:01 O come, let us sing unto the Lord:Let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation.2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving,And make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.3 For the Lord is a great God,And a great King above all gods.4 In his hand are the deep places of the earth:The strength of the hills is his also.5 The sea is his, and he made it:And his hands formed the dry land.6 O come, let us worship and bow down:Let us kneel... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

Praise the Lord and Tempt Him not Psalms 95:1-11 This psalm is deeply inwoven into the life of the Church, because of the worshipful strain which pervades it, and also because of the illuminating manner in which it is introduced into the argument of Hebrews 3:1-19 ; Hebrews 4:1-16 . The works of God in creation are specially enumerated as incentives to praise. The sea, the hills, the deep places of the earth have often inspired the minstrel, but how much more the devout soul! Let us... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 95:1-11

We pause here to note a connection between a group of psalms, viz., Psalms 93:1-5; Psalms 93:1-5; Psalms 94:1-23; Psalms 95:1-11; Psalms 96:1-13; Psalms 97:1-12; Psalms 98:1-9; Psalms 99:1-9; Psalms 100:1-5. These eight constitute the songs of the King, arranged in conformity with the needs of the people. The first ( Psa 93:1-5 ) affirms His enthronement and government. The nest ( Psa 94:1-23 ) expresses the hope of His people even in the midst of circumstances of trial. Then follow six,... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

INTRODUCTION“This Psalm is one of a series intended for the Temple worship, and possibly composed for some festal occasion. Both the joyfulness of its opening verses, and its general character, in which it resembles the 81st Psalm, would render it suitable for some of the great national feasts.“As to the date of its composition nothing certain can be said. The LXX call it a Psalm of David; and the writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews, in making a quotation from the Psalm, uses the expression... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:6

Psalms 95:6 This Psalm suggests a great many subjects of interest, but the point to which the text directs our attention is the import and bearing of its invitation to worship. I. In the strictness of the word, adoration is the expression, by an outward, but much more by an inward, act, of man's sincere conviction that his first duty to Almighty God is submission; and thus it is distinct from many other acts of the soul which are sometimes apt to be mistaken for it. (1) Contrast it, for... read more

DISCOURSE: 660DEVOTION TO GOD RECOMMENDED AND ENFORCEDPsalms 95:6-11. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your heart, as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; when your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work. Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people... read more
