Psalm 96:1-13

Psalm 96

1 Sing to the Lord a new song;
        sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
        proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
        his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;
        he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,
        but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
        strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord, all you families of nations,
        ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
        bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;
        tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns. ”
The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved;
        he will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
        let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
        let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,
        he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness
        and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Commentary

For the good of everyone

God chose Israel. He blessed the people of Israel in a special way. His purpose was not that they should feel proud and superior to others. Rather, it was that they should be a blessing to the whole world (Genesis 12:3). They were blessed to be a blessing. They were called to use their influence for the good of all nations.

Now, God has chosen us, the church, to be a blessing to all people. You are blessed to be a blessing.

This psalm has a multi-national focus. It proclaims the wonders and blessings of God to everyone. You are called to bless through:

1. Worship

It is interesting to note in passing that worship should be creative and include innovation: They sang ‘a brand-new song’ (Psalm 96:1, MSG).

2. Witness

‘Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
Take the news of his glory to the lost,
News of his wonders to one and all!... Get out the message – God Rules!’ (vv.2–3,10a, MSG).

Prayer

Help us, Lord, never to become inward looking or self-indulgent. May everything we do as individuals and as a community be outward focused in order to bring blessing to the world – proclaiming your salvation day after day.

I Hear His Whisper..."Trust my timing." : Rivers of pain and persecution will never extinguish this flame. Endless floods will be unable to quench this raging fire that burns within you. Everything will be consumed. It will stop at nothing as you yield everything to this furious fire until it won’t even seem to you like a sacrifice anymore. Song of Songs 8:7 TPT I Hear His Whisper . . . Trust my timing.   The days of completion are mine, not yours. I will complete my work in you in my perfect timing. Even as my ways are perfect, so my timing is perfect. For you have said, "It seems I am standing still and going nowhere." But I say over you, I am unfolding my glory upon you even as you wait on me. I will make it happen and will show you my perfection. What often feels like an endless season of waiting is often a time of preparation. You must believe in things you cannot see.
