Context of Psalms 95:6
4The depths of the earth are in his hand, and the mountain peaks are his. 5The sea is his; he made it. His hands formed the dry land. Come, let’s worship and bow down; let’s kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, the sheep under his care. Today, if you hear his voice: 8Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah in the wilderness

- 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.
