Psalm 95:1-7; " O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land.O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,"

There were 10 names that describe God. When we use the Lord's name, then he can reveal himself what he can show us. there were appropriate because he's a king of kings, ruler the whole world, and creator of the Earth.

1 Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

2 Let us come before him with thanksgiving

and extol him with music and song.

3 For the LORD is the great God,

the great King above all gods.

4 In his hand are the depths of the earth,

and the mountain peaks belong to him.

5 The sea is his, for he made it,

and his hands formed the dry land.

6 Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the LORD our Maker;

7 for he is our God

and we are the people of his pasture,

the flock under his care.

I counted 5 but they repeated, they are...

Lord our Maker

Lord

Rock of our Salvation

King above all gods

Great God.

The Psalmist is telling us to worship. And those actions are appropiate because he made us and he is the one and only.

Psalm 95:1-7 uses the terms Lord, Rock, King (above all gods), Maker and the great God. It otherwise refers to God as being the creator and former of the seas, mountains, heavens and earth. The scriptures imply He is our Shepherd or guide and caretaker. It describes us as the people of His pasture and the flock under His care.

From the names and titles within the passages, our God is the one and only God. He is our Lord to which we are willingly enslaved (by His love for us and (hopefully) our love for Him). He has given us the very life we breathe. He has created all we see around us. He has given us the gift of salvation that allows us to spend eternity with Him. He is the rock or foundation of our faith. He also shepherds us along our walk through this life, guiding and protecting us. He is the ultimate power, over all that exists.

As our creator, saviour, protector and guide He is deserving of our praise, worship and thanks. We are told an appropriate form of worship for includes Him; joyfully singing for Him and giving thanks and praise to Him in music and song. We are told we should bow down and worship Him, as a sign of our recognizing His position.

God has infinite power and created our universe; one which is so immense we measure it in light years. Compare how small we, as individuals, are with the scope of all of His creation. In spite of His awesome nature, He still loves and uplifts what is a pretty insignificant life force. His interest in us is so complete that He has

At least seven (7), LORD, Rock, Maker, King, Great God, Shepherd, Care Taker; in response to his name we should sing for joy and shout aloud to Him; come before Him with thanksgiving; extol Him with music and song, bow down and kneel before Him in worship. All appropriate actions for our Creator who deserves to be praised, worshipped, and exalted because of who He is!

I have found the name Lord, Rock, King, Maker.

 

We are to sing for joy to the Lord, shout aloud to the rock, come before Him with Thanksgiving. Extol Him with music and song. Bow down and worship Him. Kneel before Him because He is God our creator, Maker, Lord, King of our salvation and He made everything.

 

This action is appropriate because we were made to worship Him, and if we don't the rocks will cry out. He is worthy of all our worship and praise and adoration.

A. Rock (of our salvation), Omnipresent,  God, (worthy of praise and worship), Great King, Omnipotent (hands hold earth, seas), Creator, Maker, Shepherd, Living, interactive, judge, human emotions, (grieved, patience, etc),  Sovereign (My ways)

B. Let us sing, and make a joyful noise unto Him. Worship Him with thanksgiving, bow down in reverence. Listen: hear His voice. Keep heart soft and pliable.

C. God is all of those qualities and more beyond words. Worship, praise, thanksgiving and attentiveness to Him are the only appropriate response to His Wonder and Sovereignty.

The explicit titles, names and metaphor are that He is the LORD (YHVH), the Rock, God, a great King and Maker. The implicit titles, names and metaphor are that He is the Maker (vs.5 ) and the Potter (hands formed vs. 5), Shepherd  (vs. 7)

In response to His revealed Names, the Psalmist calls us to sing unto the Lord and to make a joyful noise unto Him. He extolls to come before His presence with thanksgiving and sing psalms to Him. For all things are in His hands, whether it be the deep places or the high places of the earth. He made both the seas and the dry land. But He made us the sheep of His pasture and thus we belong to Him, more intimate than anything else and thus it is a privilege unto us to worship Him.

These are the names of God I can find in this passage: the Rock of our salvation, the great God, the great King above all gods, our Maker, The Lord our Maker, our God. He is the Maker of sea and the dry land. And we are His sheep and He is our shepherd.

The psalmist tells us to worship and sing unto God and to be joyful.

Lord, Rock of our Salvation, the great God, great King, The Lord our Maker, and our God.

We should be joyful and praise Him for all He is. We should be thankful and realize He has our best interests in mind. We should humble ourselves and realize that He knows more than we do.; We should gladly live for Him and glorify Him.

In this passage I see the names, titles, and metaphors of God in the following terms and phrases:

Verse 1 LORD - El;  Rock of our salvation. 

Verse 3  LORD - El;  Great God - Jehovah;   Great King - Elohim;   above all gods - God Most High (El Elyon).

Verse 4 The Strength of the hills. 

Verse 5 & 6 the sea is His, and He made it;  our maker - Creator;  His hands formed the dry lands - Potter

Verse 7 our God - our Elohim;  the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand - Shepherd.

The Psalmist calls on us to sing unto the LORD, to make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms, to come before His presence with thanksgiving, to come worship,  bow down and kneel before Him.

These action are appropriate because He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand.

Why are these actions appropriate?  I can count six names: LORD, Rock of our Salvation, Great God, Great King, Maker, Our God.  The Psalmist asks us to extol our God through song and music, and through shouts of joy. These are just some of the ways we can worship Our LORD, our God, and Creator. It is basically the way we should believe in our God-- through joyful songs, and exuberant calls.

Psal.95:3 we have 3 names of God.  Our Jehovah,the Lord ; El,the great God and Elohim the great King.

God is the rock of our salvation which means that he is our strong defense and His salvation is all powerful.  HE is our Maker.

We are to sing, make a joyfull noise, utter our voices of Thanksgiving, worship, bow down, kneel  before our Maker and be open to hear His voice.  We must forsake having hardened hearts.

Now we are called to be inner court Christains as described in the EPISTLE to the Hebrews.   We are to rest in Christ and come boldly into the Holy of Holies each day.  We cannot provoke God by our self willed lives.   The one and final sacrifice for sins has been paid.   We do not rely on the Law of Moses nor on our own good deeds to get to heaven.   Christ alone is both the Victim and the one offering the one final atonement. Truly our Joshua has gone on before us !   Imagine how wonderfull the status we have!    Called to be high priests !
