The Lord Will

Psalm 96:5

β€œFor all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.”

KJV

Read in Psalm 96

Meaning

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.
