Psalm 96:1
“O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 96Meaning
The opening summons the whole earth to renewed praise, presenting worship as a fresh response to God's worth rather than a private possession of one people.
A new song for all nations
The psalm summons the whole earth to sing, proclaim salvation, declare God's glory, and recognize the Creator's incomparable majesty.
Read carefully
Psalm 96 calls the nations to worship God; it does not authorize coercion, ethnic superiority, or private violence.
Reflection
Let worship become truthful praise, public witness, and ethical reverence rather than performance.
