951 Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation. 2 We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him. 3 For a great God 'is' Jehovah, And a great king over all gods. 4 In whose hand 'are' the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills 'are' His. 5 Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 95:1-5
Commentary on Psalm 95:1-7
(Read Psalm 95:1-7)
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 praise him. He is our Saviour, and the Author of our blessedness. The gospel church is his flock, Christ is the great and good Shepherd of believers; he sought them when lost, and brought them to his fold.
