Context of Psalms 95:6
4In 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. O come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker [in reverent praise and prayer]. 7For 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, 8Do not harden your hearts and become spiritually dull as at Meribah [the place of strife], And as at Massah [the place of testing] in the wilderness,

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 6O come, let us worship - Three distinct words are used here to express three different acts of adoration: Let us worship, נשתחוה nishtachaveh, let us prostrate ourselves; the highest act of adoration by which the supremacy of God is acknowledged.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 6O come, let us worship and bow down - Let us worship him by bowing down; by prostrating ourselves before him.
