Gill's Exposition on Psalms 95:6
O come, let us worship and bow down,.... Before him who is the Rock of our salvation, the great God and great King, the Creator of the ends of the earth, the proper object of all religious worship
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 95:6
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. O come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 95:6
By which expressions he teacheth that even in gospel times God is to be glorified and worshipped, as well with the members of our bodies, as with the faculties of our souls.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 95:6
Psalms 95:6 O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker.Ver. 6. O come, let us worship and bow down] With our whole bodies prostrate on the ground, our hands and feet stretched out (Kimchi). The Jews’ gesture of adoration at this day is the bowing forward of their bodies, for kneeling they use none (no more do the Grecians), neither stir they their bonnets in their synagogues to any man, but remain still covered. The Lord our maker] Who hath not only created us, but advanced us, as he did Moses and Aaron, 1 Samuel 12:6.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 95:6
(6) Worship.—Properly, prostrate ourselves. Kneel.—The practice of kneeling low in the East, only used in moments of deep humiliation, is first mentioned in 2 Chronicles 6:13. It was also Daniel’s practice (Daniel 6:10).
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 95:6
Verse 6. O come, let us worship] Three distinct words are used here to express three different acts of adoration: 1. Let us worship, נשתחוה nishtachaveh, let us prostrate ourselves; the highest act of adoration by which the supremacy of God is acknowledged. 2. Let us bow down, נכרעה nichraah, let us crouch or cower down, bending the legs under, as a dog in the presence of his master, which solicitously waits to receive his commands. 3. Let us kneel, נברכה nibrachah, let us put our knees to the ground, and thus put ourselves in the posture of those who supplicate. And let us consider that all this should be done in the presence of HIM who is Jehovah our Creator.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 95:6
6, 7. A renewed call to worship Jehovah, on the ground of His relation to Israel.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 95:6
O come, let us worship and bow down - Let us worship him by bowing down; by prostrating ourselves before him. The word here rendered “come” is not the same which is used in Psalms 95:1.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 95:6
6. Worship… bow down… kneel—Three different words, expressive of the humblest form of bodily prostration before a superior, and repeated for intensity.
