Context of Psalms 95:5
3For Jehovah is a great God, And a great King above all gods. 4In his hand are the deep places of the earth; The heights of the mountains are his also. The sea is his, and he made it; And his hands formed the dry land. 6Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before Jehovah our Maker: 7For he is our God, And we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To-day, oh that ye would hear his voice!

Commentaries on Psalms 95:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5The sea is his - The sea and the dry land are equally his, for he has formed them both, and they are his property. He governs and disposes of them as he sees good. He is the absolute Master of universal nature. Therefore there is no other object of worship nor of confidence.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 5The sea is his - Margin, as in Hebrew, “Whose the sea is.” That is, The sea belongs to him, with all which it contains. And he made it - It is his, “because” he made it. The creation of anything gives the highest possible right over it. And his hands formed the dry land - He has a claim, therefore, that it should be recognized as his, and that all who dwell upon it, and derive their support from it, should acknowledge him as its great Owner and Lord.Read the comment
