Psalms 96:1

Psalm 96 1 

96:1 Sing to the Lord a new song! 2 

Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Psalms 96:6

96:6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; 3 

his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful. 4 

1 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.

2 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.

3 tn Heb “majesty and splendor [are] before him.”

4 tn Heb “strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.”
