<p id="Chapter96" align="center">Commentary by A. R. FAUSSET<br>PSALM 96
<p id="Ps96_1"><a onclick="return mV('Psa',96,'1-13');">Psa 96:1-13</a>.
<p>The substance of this Psalm, and portions of the ninety-seventh, ninety-eighth, and hundredth, are found in <a onclick="return mV('1Ch',16,'7-36');">1Ch 16:7-36</a>, which was used by David's directions in the dedication of the tabernacle on Mount Zion. The dispensation of the Messiah was typified by that event, involving, as it did, a more permanent seat of worship, and the introduction of additional and more spiritual services. Hence the language of these Psalms may be regarded as having a higher import than that pertinent to the occasion on which it was thus publicly used.
<p><b>1-3.</b> All nations are invited to unite in this most joyful praise.
<br><br><b>new song</b>&#8212;literally, "fresh," or new mercies (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',33,3);">Psa 33:3</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Psa',40,3);">40:3</a>).
<p id="Ps96_2"><b>2. show forth</b>&#8212;literally, "declare joyful tidings."
<br><br><b>salvation</b>&#8212;illustrates His glory in its wonders of love and mercy.
<p id="Ps96_4"><b>4, 5.</b> For He is not a local God, but of universal agency, while idols are nothing.
<p id="Ps96_6"><b>6. Honour and majesty</b>&#8212;are His attendants, declared in His mighty works, while power and grace are specially seen in His spiritual relations to His people.
<p id="Ps96_7"><b>7-9. Give</b>&#8212;or, "ascribe" (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',29,1);">Psa 29:1</a>) due honor to Him, by acts of appointed and solemn worship in His house.
<p id="Ps96_8"><b>8. offering</b>&#8212;of thanks.
<p id="Ps96_9"><b>9. beauty of holiness</b>&#8212; (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',29,2);">Psa 29:2</a>).
<br><br><b>fear...him</b>&#8212; (<a onclick="return mV('Psa',2,11);">Psa 2:11</a>).
<p id="Ps96_10"><b>10.</b> Let all know that the government of the world is ordered in justice, and they shall enjoy firm and lasting peace (compare <a onclick="return mV('Psa',72,3,7);">Psa 72:3, 7</a>; <a onclick="return mV('Isa',9,6,7);">Isa 9:6-7</a>).
<p id="Ps96_11"><b>11-13.</b> For which reason the universe is invoked to unite in joy, and even inanimate nature (<a onclick="return mV('Rom',8,'14-22');">Rom 8:14-22</a>) is poetically represented as capable of joining in the anthem of praise.
