Psalm 96:5
“For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 96Meaning
The contrast is theological: created objects and rival claims are not equal to the Creator who made the heavens.
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
It makes a theological claim about worship; it does not revoke anyone's dignity or authorize mistreatment.
Reflection
State convictions clearly while treating people with dignity.
