Psalms 95:2

“Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, etc.] Come with the sacrifice of praise, there being no other in the days of the Messiah, all ceremonial sacrifices being put an end to when his sacrifice was offered up; so Arama observes, that the offering of thanksgiving shall remain, or be left in the days of the Messiah; come with this to Christ as a priest, to offer it by him to God his Father, to whom it is acceptable through him, and with this to himself for the great salvation he has wrought out: “to come before his presence”, or “face” f1355, supposes his being come in the flesh, his being God manifest in it, and also as clear and free from the veil of types and shadows; these all…”

“Let us come before his presence - Margin, as in Hebrew, “prevent his face.” The word in Hebrew means literally to come before; to anticipate. It is the word which is commonly rendered “prevent.” See Job 3:12, note; Psalms 17:13, note; Psalms 59:10, note; 1 Thessalonians 4:15, note. Here it means to come before, in the sense of “in front of.” Let us stand before his face; that is, in his very presence. With thanksgiving - Expressing our thanks. And make a joyful noise unto him - The same word which occurs in Psalms 95:1. With psalms - Songs of praise. return to 'Top of Page'”
