Quick answer

Come, let us worship and bow down, kneeling before the LORD our Maker. We are called to humble, reverent worship of our Creator.

Overview

Having celebrated God's greatness and creation, the psalmist calls for bodily expressions of humility and reverence. Bowing and kneeling acknowledge God's lordship and our creaturely dependence. Such worship of the Maker is the fitting response of all people, and in Christ we draw near to worship the Father in spirit and truth (John 4:23-24).

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 95:6 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
