Context of Psalms 95:4
2Let us come before His presence with a song of thanksgiving; Let us shout joyfully to Him with songs. 3For the Lord is a great God And a great King above all gods, In whose hand are the depths of the earth; The peaks of the mountains are His also. 5The sea is His, for He made it [by His command]; And His hands formed the dry land. 6O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer].
