Psalm 96:1
βO sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.β
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.
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.
