Salmi 95:1-6

1 VENITE, cantiamo lietamente al Signore; Giubiliamo alla Rocca della nostra salute.

2 Andiamogli incontro con lodi, Giubiliamogli con salmi.

3 Perciocchè il Signore è Dio grande, E Re grande sopra tutti gl’iddii.

4 Perciocchè egli tiene in mano le profondità della terra; E le altezze de’ monti sono sue.

5 Ed a lui appartiene il mare, perchè egli l’ha fatto; E l’asciutto, perchè le sue mani l’hanno formato.

6 Venite, adoriamo, ed inchiniamoci; Inginocchiamoci davanti al Signore che ci ha fatti.

Salmi 95:1-6 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.
