Psalms 29:2

29:2 Acknowledge the majesty of the Lord’s reputation! ¹ 

Worship the Lord in holy attire! ² 

Psalms 96:1

Psalm 96 ³ 

96:1 Sing to the Lord a new song! ⁴ 

Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Psalms 96:7

96:7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations,

ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength!

¹ tn Heb “ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name.” The Hebrew term שֵׁם (shem, “name”) refers here to the Lord’s reputation. (The English term “name” is often used the same way.)

² tn That is, properly dressed for the occasion.

³ sn Psalm 96. The psalmist summons everyone to praise the Lord, the sovereign creator of the world who preserves and promotes justice in the earth.

⁴ sn A new song is appropriate because the Lord is constantly intervening in the world as its just king. See also Pss 33:3; 40:3; 98:1.
