What does Psalm 95:4 mean?

The Lord's people should approach Him with gratitude and praise (Psalm 95:2), because He is the One who makes and sustains all things. God is the owner and sustainer of everything in creation (Genesis 1:1; Revelation 4:11), including the highest and lowest parts of the earth. All things were created "by him … through him and for him" (Colossians 1:16). Further, it is God's power that causes all things to continue to exist (Colossians 1:17). Without His sustaining power, everything would evaporate into chaos or oblivion.

Scripture often uses the imagery of high mountains and deep seas or valleys to represent the furthest reaches of creation (Psalm 104:8; Proverbs 8:24–25; Isaiah 40:12). This passage includes those ideas as part of describing the Lord as the One and Only true God (Psalm 95:3). The following section of this psalm (Psalm 95:6) will repeat God's roles as our Creator when encouraging trusting obedience.
