What does Psalm 95:1-7 say?

Come, we sing to Jehovah, We shout to the rock of our salvation. We come before His face with thanksgiving, With psalms we shout to Him. For a great God is Jehovah, And a great king over all gods. In whose hand are the deep places of earth, And the strong places of hills are His. Whose is the sea, and He made it, And His hands formed the dry land. Come in, we bow ourselves, and we bend, We kneel before Jehovah our Maker. For He is our God, and we the people of His pasture, And the flock of His hand, To-day, if to His voice ye hearken,

Study Lenses

The verse centers on "come", "sing", "jehovah", "shout", "rock", "salvation", and "before". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "come" and "sing", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The next verse adds "Harden not your heart as FI in...", so "come" and "sing" should be read forward into that movement. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "come" and "sing" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
