Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 1. O come, let us sing ] Let us praise God, not only with the most joyful accents which can be uttered by the voice; but let us also praise him with hearts tuned to gratitude, from a full sense of the manifold benefits we have already received.
The rock of our salvation. ] The strong Fortress in which we have always found safety, and the Source whence we have always derived help for our souls. In both these senses the word rock, as applied to God, is used in the Scriptures.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-7 - Whenever we come into God's presence, we must come with thanksgiving The Lord is to be praised; we do not want matter, it were well if we did not want a heart. How great is that God, whose the whole earth is and the fulness thereof; who directs and disposes of all!, The Lor Jesus, whom we are here taught to praise, is a great God; the might God is one of his titles, and God over all, blessed for evermore. To him all power is given, both in heaven and earth. He is our God, and we should praise him. He is our Saviour, and the Author of ou blessedness. The gospel church is his flock, Christ is the great an good Shepherd of believers; he sought them when lost, and brought the to his fold.
