Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

Psalms 95:1-11 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 95:1-11

The Jews with one consent refer this psalm to the days of the Messiah. St. Paul had therefore the fullest authority for addressing it to the Hebrews. It was composed by David, when God had put all adjacent nations under his power. Psalms 95:7 . We are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Psalms 95:6

Psa 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. Ver. 6. O come, let us worship and bow down ] With our whole bodies prostrate on the ground, our hands and feet stretched out (Kimchi).

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:6

6. Worship… bow down… kneel Three different words, expressive of the humblest form of bodily prostration before a superior, and repeated for intensity. Kneel before the Lord Literally, Kneel to the face of Jehovah; in his immediate presence a spiritual anticipation of Hebrews 10:22. The outward homage must arise from, and sincerely express, the inward feeling and desire. “In the shell of the kneeling there must be contained the kernel of unreserved surrender, which manifests... read more
