Psalm 96
I love to sing praise songs about our Lord! It makes me feel happy! In Psalms 96, I recognize several verses of familiar songs of today – “For great is the Lord and worthy of praise”, “Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness” and others.
It is thought that David wrote this Psalm as a praise to God during the entrance of the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem (I Chronicles 16:23-33). It calls all nations to praise the Lord as the only God. Let the heavens rejoice, the earth be glad, the seas resound, the fields be jubilant, and all the trees of the forest sing for joy! Let us rejoice together with nature, and proclaim our God as the one and only true God, worthy of praise!
