Psalm 96:8
“Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.”
KJV
Read in Psalm 96Meaning
Worship is expressed concretely, but giving is not a transaction that purchases favor or blessing.
Ascribe glory and say: the LORD reigns
The nations are called to worship in holiness and to proclaim God's stable, equitable reign.
Read carefully
The psalm presents offering as worship, not a financial bargain with God.
Reflection
Give as an act of worship rather than as a purchase of divine favor.
