Psalm 96
|
|
| 96:1
O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth. |
|
| 96:2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to
day. |
|
| 96:3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. |
|
| 96:4
For the LORD is
great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
|
(96:4) "The LORD ... is to be feared above all gods."
How many gods are there?
Should we fear God?
|
| 96:5
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
|
| 96:6
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his
sanctuary.
|
| 96:7
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory
and strength. |
|
| 96:8
Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:
bring an offering, and come into his courts |
|
| 96:9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the
earth. |
|
| 96:10
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. |
(96:10a) "Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth."
Who is the Lord of the earth?
(96:10b) "The world also shall be established that it shall
not be moved." The earth does not
move. It doesn't revolve on its axis or orbit the sun.
|
| 96:11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and
the fulness thereof.
|
| 96:12
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees
of the wood rejoice.
|
| 96:13
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.
