Psalms 96 GOD OF THE UNIVERSE

KING JAMES BIBLE

1 O SING unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

13 before the LORD who comes, who comes to govern the earth, To govern the world with justice and the peoples with faithfulness.

COMMENTARIE

V 1-13. The Psalmist even calls on nature to rejoice in the Lord. Now, Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. After God judges and reigns, creation will not groan but rejoice, or flourish.

V 1-3. Jews were to be missionaries to the rest of the world, and here others are invited to lay aside former allegiances and sing a new song with them to the Lord.

V 4-6 The heathen gods were but idols, while the Lord is creator. Therefore He is great and worthy to be honored and praised.

 

V 7-10 Again all nations are called to worship God because it is due Him. The heathen are to told that the Lord is the righteous judge of all,
