[ Read](/kjv/psalms/95)[ Commentary](/study/psalms/95)[ Interlinear](/interlinear/psalms/95) Audio

 1 O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.

 2 Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.*

 3 For the LORD *is* a great God, and a great King above all gods.

 4 In his hand *are* the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills *is* his also.**

 5 The sea *is* his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry *land*.*

 6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.

 7 For he *is* our God; and we *are* the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,

 8 Harden not your heart, as in the provocation, *and* as *in* the day of temptation in the wilderness:*

 9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my work.

 10 Forty years long was I grieved with *this* generation, and said, It *is* a people that do err in their heart, and they have not known my ways:

 11 Unto whom I sware in my wrath that they should not enter into my rest.*
 
[Psalms 94](/study/psalms/94) [Psalms 96](/study/psalms/96)

## Commentary

 To verse 1
 
(1) **O come.**—The invitation is general, and may be contrasted with the heathen warning to the uninitiated, *procul este profani.*This exhortation to worship God, not with penitence, but with loud thanksgiving, is, as Perowne notes, the more remarkable considering the strain in which the latter part of the psalm is written. 

**Make a joyful noise.**—There is no one English expression for the full burst of instrumental and vocal music which is meant by the Hebrew word here applied to the Temple service. Vulg., *jubilemus.* 

**Rock of our salvation.**—As in [Psalms 89:26](/kjv/psalms/89/26). (Comp. “rock of refuge,” [Psalms 94:22](/kjv/psalms/94/22).)
