Psalm 95
1 Come, let's sing out loud to the LORD! Let's raise a joyful shout to the rock of our salvation!
2
Let's come before him with thanks! Let's shout songs of joy to him!
3
The LORD is a great God, the great king over all other gods.
4
The earth's depths are in his hands; the mountain heights belong to him;
5
the sea, which he made, is his along with the dry ground, which his own hands formed.
6
Come, let's worship and bow down! Let's kneel before the LORD, our maker!
7
He is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, the sheep in his hands. If only you would listen to his voice right now!
8
"Don't harden your hearts like you did at Meribah, like you did when you were at Massah, in the wilderness,
9
when your ancestors tested me and scrutinized me, even though they had already seen my acts.

Psalms 95:1-9 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 95
This psalm, though without a title, was written by David, as appears from Heb 4:7, and to him the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions ascribe it. It belongs to the times of the Messiah, as Kimchi observes; the apostle applies it to the Jews of his time, and bespeaks them in the language of it, Heb 3:7-11, and in which time Israelites, believers in Christ, are called upon to serve and worship him, in consideration of his greatness in himself, and his goodness to them. Theodoret thinks that David spoke prophetically of King Josiah and his times; and wrote it in the person of him, and the priests of God.
