Psalm 95:4

In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.

2Let’s come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let’s extol him with songs!
3For the LORD is a great God, a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the mountains are also his.
5The sea is his, and he made it. His hands formed the dry land.
6Oh come, let’s worship and bow down. Let’s kneel before the LORD, our Maker,
