Psalm 95 “The Invitatory Psalm”

"O come, let us sing to the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.” (v.1)

This Psalm, written by David, is an invitation to mankind to yield unto the true God the praise, worship, and obedience which He requires and deserves. It is an exhortation to praise God for his great power, goodness, and tenderness to his people (vv. 3-7), and cautions against hardness of the heart (vv. 8-11). 

The Lord Jesus, whom we are here taught to praise, is God Almighty; the most high God, the everlasting God, and the Holy One of Israel. To him all power is given, both in heaven and earth. He is our God, and we should praise him. For He has made us what we are - created us, redeemed us, and taken us to be his people. 

The Truth: “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.” (Psalm 150:6) 
 "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.” (John 4:24)
