It reflects the communal aspect of worship in ancient Israel, where worship was often a collective experience. The call to "come" suggests movement towards a sacred space, reminiscent of the pilgrimages to the temple in Jerusalem, which was central to Jewish worship.<p><b>let us worship and bow down;</b><br>Worship and bowing down indicate a posture of humility and reverence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, bowing was a common gesture of submission and respect towards a sovereign. This phrase emphasizes the attitude of the heart in worship, aligning with passages like <a href="/philippians/2-10.htm">Philippians 2:10</a>, where every knee shall bow at the name of Jesus. It underscores the importance of recognizing God's sovereignty and majesty.<p><b>let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.</b><br>Kneeling is a physical act of submission and devotion, often associated with prayer and supplication. The reference to "the LORD our Maker" highlights God's role as Creator, echoing <a href="/genesis/1.htm">Genesis 1:1</a> and reinforcing the idea of God as the origin of all life. This phrase connects to the broader biblical narrative of God as the Creator and Sustainer, as seen in passages like <a href="/isaiah/45-9.htm">Isaiah 45:9-12</a>. It also points to the intimate relationship between God and His people, as the Maker who knows and cares for His creation.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_psalmist.htm">The Psalmist</a></b><br>The author of <a href="/bsb/psalms/95.htm">Psalm 95</a>, traditionally attributed to King David, who calls the people to worship.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant name of God, emphasizing His eternal and self-existent nature.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_worshipers.htm">The Worshipers</a></b><br>The community of believers invited to worship and bow down before God.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_act_of_worship.htm">The Act of Worship</a></b><br>The physical and spiritual act of bowing and kneeling, symbolizing reverence and submission.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_maker.htm">The Maker</a></b><br>Acknowledgment of God as the Creator, emphasizing His authority and power over creation.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_call_to_worship.htm">The Call to Worship</a></b><br>Worship is an invitation to enter into God's presence with reverence and humility.
