961 Sing to Yahweh a new song!
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. 2 Sing to Yahweh!
Bless his name!
Proclaim his salvation from day to day! 3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples. 4 For great is Yahweh, and greatly to be praised!
He is to be feared above all gods. 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but Yahweh made the heavens. 6 Honor and majesty are before him.
Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. 8 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name.
Bring an offering, and come into his courts. 9 Worship Yahweh in holy array.
Tremble before him, all the earth.

Commentary on Psalm 96:1-9
(Read Psalm 96:1-9)
When Christ finished his work on earth, and was received into his glory in heaven, the church began to sing a new song unto him, and to bless his name. His apostles and evangelists showed forth his salvation among the heathen, his wonders among all people. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord. We must worship him in the beauty of holiness, as God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Glorious things are said of him, both as motives to praise and matter of praise.
