Salmos 95:1-6

1 Vinde, cantemos alegremente ao Senhor, cantemos com júbilo � rocha da nossa salvação.

2 Apresentemo-nos diante dele com ações de graças, e celebremo-lo com salmos de louvor.

3 Porque o Senhor é Deus grande, e Rei grande acima de todos os deuses.

4 Nas suas mãos estão as profundezas da terra, e as alturas dos montes são suas.

5 Seu é o mar, pois ele o fez, e as suas mãos formaram a serra terra seca.

6 Oh, vinde, adoremos e prostremo-nos; ajoelhemos diante do Senhor, que nos criou.

Salmos 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.
