Adam Clarke's Bible Commentary Verse 6. O come, let us worship ] Three distinct words are used here to express three different acts of adoration: 1. Let us worship, hwjtn nishtachaveh, let us prostrate ourselves; the highest act of adoration by which the supremacy of God is acknowledged. 2. Let us bow down, h[rkn nichraah, let us crouch or cower down, bending the legs under, as a dog in the presence of his master, which solicitously waits to receive his commands. 3. Let us kneel, hkrbn nibrachah, let us put our knees to the ground, and thus put ourselves in the posture of those who supplicate.
And let us consider that all this should be done in the presence of HIM who is Jehovah our Creator.
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.
