Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Psalms 95:1-11

Psalms 95:0 In Anticipation of His Coming 1. Singing unto Him? (Psalms 95:1-5 ) 2. Let us worship and bow down (Psalms 95:6-11 ) It is a call to Israel in anticipation of the soon appearing of the expected Saviour-King. The next Psalm will show that He has come. How are they, His people, to welcome Him? With singing, with confession (this is the literal translation of thanksgiving in Psalms 95:2 ), with worship and prostration. And there is the warning now not to harden their hearts, not... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:1-11

The first psalm in this lesson suggests Psalms 74:0 on which we did not dwell, but both of which depict the desolations of Judah by the Babylonians (compare Jeremiah 52:12-14 ). On this supposition their date would be that of the captivity, and their author a later Asaph than the Asaph mentioned in David’s time. Psalms 80:0 Has captivity features also. Some would say it relates to the ten tribes, as the preceding psalm does to Judah. The next several psalms are much alike in this respect and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 95:2

The joyful noise is again repeated, as if the blessed Spirit would have the earth ring with his praises, as the heaven above is full of his glory. And, Reader! do remark the privilege of the gospel church, compared to the church of old: Jehovah then dwelt between the cherubim, shadowing the mercy-seat; and there the church drew nigh. But, Jesus having opened a new and living way for us by his blood, we are permitted, yea commanded, to come into his immediate presence, having such an High Priest... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 95:2

Lord....his name. As ver. 7., and 8. The plural and singular denote the Trinity. (Worthington) --- Shew forth. Septuagint, "evangelize," bene nuntiate. (St. Augustine) --- "Tell the glad tidings" of salvation incessantly. This preaching shall continue for ever. (Haydock) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 95:1-7

1-7 Whenever we come into God's presence, we must come with thanksgiving. The Lord is to be praised; we do not want matter, it were well if we did not want a heart. How great is that God, whose the whole earth is, and the fulness thereof; who directs and disposes of all!, The Lord Jesus, whom we are here taught to praise, is a great God; the mighty God is one of his titles, and God over all, blessed for evermore. To him all power is given, both in heaven and earth. He is our God, and we should... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

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

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 95:1-11

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

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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

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
