2. An invitation to all groups of people to honor Yahweh 96:7-10

96:7-9 "Families"is literally "tribes."The Israelites invited all the Gentile groups to honor the true God. They invited them to bring offerings of worship to Him at the temple. Contrast this attitude toward the Gentiles with that of Jonah or the Pharisees in Jesus' day. The psalmist invited non-Jews to submit to Yahweh and become His worshippers. Many did become proselytes of Judaism over the years.

96:10 It is only reasonable that all tribes acknowledge Yahweh since He reigns over all the earth. From later revelation we know that Jesus Christ will judge the peoples fairly when He returns to this earth and sets up His millennial kingdom. Then every knee of every person will bow to His authority (v. 6; cf. Phil. 2:10).
