Context of Psalms 95:6
4In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his also. 5The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land. Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker! 7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice, 8do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, as on the 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.
