PSAL. XCV.
The Author of this Psalm was David, as is affirmed Heb. 4. 7. and although the Psalm be delivered in general terms as an invitation to mankind to yield unto the true God that praise, and worship, and obedience, which he requireth and deserveth, yet it hath a special reference to the days of the Messiah; of which Christians have no great reason to doubt, seeing it is so understood by the Hebrew Do∣ctors themselves, as also by the Apostle, Heb. 3. 7▪ &c. and especially Heb. 4. 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. where he not onely expounds it of those times, but proves that it cannot be meant of the former times and state of the Church.
1 O Come, let us a 1.1 sing unto the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
2 Let us † 1.2 come before his presence b 1.3 with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms.
3 For * 1.4 the LORD is a great God, and a great King above * 1.5 all gods c 1.6.
4 † 1.7 In his hand d 1.8 are the deep places e 1.9 of the earth: ‖ 1.10 the strength of the hills f 1.11 is his also.
5 † 1.12 The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry lands.
6 O come, let us worship, and bow down: let us kneel g 1.13 before the LORD our maker.
7 For he is our God h 1.14, and * 1.15 we are the peo∣ple of his pasture i 1.16, and the sheep of his hand k 1.17: * 1.18 to day l 1.19 if ye will hear his voice m 1.20,
8 Harden not your hearts n 1.21, * 1.22 as in the † 1.23 pro∣vocation o 1.24, and as in the day of temptation p 1.25 in the wilderness:
