What does Psalms 95:6 mean?

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

Adam Clarke's 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, נשתחוה nishtachaveh, let us prostrate ourselves; the highest act of adoration by which the supremacy of God is acknowledged. 2. Let us bow down, נכרעה 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, נברכה 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.
