Psalms 95:3 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 95:3

For the Lord is a great God
Christ is truly and properly God, wherefore divine service is to be performed unto him; particularly singing psalms, setting forth therein his greatness and glory: and he is a great one; great in power, wisdom, justice, truth, mercy, and grace; greatness is to be ascribed unto him, and worship given him, because of his greatness, ( Titus 2:13 )

and a great King over all gods;
he is King of the whole world; his kingdom ruleth over all; he is King of kings, and Lord of lords; he is King of saints, the government of the whole church is upon his shoulders, which he exercises in the most wise, powerful, and righteous manner imaginable; he is above all that are called gods, all the nominal and fictitious deities of the Heathens; above all civil magistrates, who are gods by office; and above the angels, who have this name, ( 1 Peter 3:22 ) . Aben Ezra interprets it of angels.

Psalms 95:3 In-Context

1 Come, let's shout praises to God, raise the roof for the Rock who saved us!
2 Let's march into his presence singing praises, lifting the rafters with our hymns!
3 And why? Because God is the best, High King over all the gods.
4 In one hand he holds deep caves and caverns, in the other hand grasps the high mountains.
5 He made Ocean - he owns it! His hands sculpted Earth!
