詩篇 95: 1-7
1來啊，我們要向耶和華歌唱，向拯救我們的磐石歡呼！2 我們要來感謝他，用詩歌向他歡呼！3 因耶和華為大神，為大王，超乎萬神之上。4 地的深處在他手中，山的高峰也屬他。5 海洋屬他，是他造的，旱地也是他手造成的。(戒民勿干主怒致失所許之福) 6 來啊，我們要屈身敬拜，在造我們的耶和華面前跪下！7 因為他是我們的神，我們是他草場的羊，是他手下的民。唯願你們今天聽他的話：
這是一首頌讚 神的詩，詩人邀請我們一同來歌唱感謝 神（1-2節），因為祂是至大的 神，超乎萬 神之上！祂也是至大的王，是萬王之王！哈利路亞，從「地的深處」 到「山的高峰」都屬於 神，因祂統管萬有，是萬主之主！。因此在第6節，詩人再次邀請我們一同屈身敬拜，向 神獻上感謝，因為一切受造者都當向創造他們的主感恩和敬拜！
感謝 神！祂是至高的 神，卻願意降卑作我們的 神，並揀選我們成為祂的子民；感謝 神！祂願意照著自己的形像創造我們，並親自作我們的主；感謝 神！祂願意作我們的好牧人，為羊（我們）捨命。我們更要感謝 神，讓我們可以成為祂的羊、祂的民。盼望因著感恩，我們都願意來聽從祂的話，順服祂的引導，在地上為祂發光作見證，並且多結果子，使天父得榮耀！:-)
Psalm 95:1-7
1Oh come, let us sing to the Lord! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. 2 Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. 3 For the Lord is the great God, and the great King above all gods. 4 In His hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the hills are His also. 5 The sea is His, for He made it; and His hands formed the dry land. 6 Oh 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. Today, if you will hear His voice.
In this song of praise, the poet invites us to sing together and give thanks to God (v 1-2). For the Lord is the great God above all gods. He is also the greatest King and King of kings! Hallelujah! All from "the deep places of the earth" to "the heights of the hills" belong to God, for He is the Lord of lords who rules over all. Therefore, the poet invites us again in verse 6 to worship and bow down, and give thanks to God. For all creations should worship and thank God the Creator!
Thanks be to God! He is God Most High, but willing to humble Himself to be our God and chooses us as His people. Thanks be to God! He is willing to create us in His own image and be our Lord Himself. Thanks be to God! He would like to be our good shepherd who gives His life for sheeps (us). We should thank God furthermore for making us His sheeps and His people. May we obey His word and guidance with thanksgiving. Shine, testify and bear much fruit for Him, and glorify our heavenly Father! :-)
