Discovery BoxPsalms 95:4-7 
Context95:4 The depths of the earth are in his hand, 1
and the mountain peaks belong to him.
95:5 The sea is his, for he made it.
His hands formed the dry land.
95:6 Come! Let’s bow down and worship! 2
Let’s kneel before the Lord, our creator!
95:7 For he is our God;
we are the people of his pasture,
the sheep he owns. 3
Today, if only you would obey him! 4
1 tn The phrase “in his hand” means within the sphere of his authority.
2 tn Heb “kneel down.”
3 tn Heb “of his hand.”
4 tn Heb “if only you would listen to his voice.” The Hebrew particle אִם (’im, “if”) and following prefixed verbal form here express a wish (cf. Ps 81:8). Note that the apodosis (the “then” clause of the conditional sentence) is suppressed.
