Matthew Henry Commentary Psalms 95:1-7

"Oh come, let us sing unto Jehovah; Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; Let us make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker: For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!" — Psalms 95:1-7 (ASV)

Whenever we come into God's presence, we must come with thanksgiving. The Lord is to be praised; we do not lack subject matter for praise, and it would be well if we did not also lack a heart for it. How great is that God, whose is the whole earth 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 on earth.

He is our God, and we should praise him. He is our Savior, 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 they were lost and brought them to his fold.
