Psalm 96
1. An exhortation to praise God
4. for his greatness
8. for his kingdom
11. for his general judgment














Declare His glory
The phrase "Declare His glory" calls believers to actively proclaim the majesty and splendor of God. The Hebrew word for "declare" is "saphar," which means to recount or tell. This implies a deliberate and vocal expression of God's greatness. In the context of ancient Israel, declaring God's glory was not just a personal act of worship but a communal responsibility. The Israelites were surrounded by nations that worshipped false gods, and by declaring God's glory, they were setting the record straight about the one true God. This call to declare is timeless, urging Christians today to share the gospel and testify to God's work in their lives.

among the nations
The phrase "among the nations" emphasizes the universal scope of God's glory. The Hebrew word for "nations" is "goyim," which refers to the Gentiles or non-Israelite peoples. This highlights the inclusivity of God's message and His desire for all people to know Him. Historically, Israel was chosen to be a light to the nations, a role that is now extended to the Church. This phrase challenges believers to look beyond their immediate communities and consider the global mission of spreading God's glory. It is a reminder of the Great Commission, where Jesus commands His followers to make disciples of all nations.

His marvelous deeds
"His marvelous deeds" refers to the wondrous acts of God throughout history. The Hebrew word "nifla'ot" is used here, which denotes extraordinary, miraculous works that inspire awe. In the Old Testament, these deeds often included acts of deliverance, such as the Exodus from Egypt, which demonstrated God's power and faithfulness. For Christians, the ultimate marvelous deed is the resurrection of Jesus Christ, which signifies victory over sin and death. This phrase encourages believers to reflect on God's past faithfulness and to trust in His continued work in their lives. It also serves as a call to share these accounts of God's intervention and grace with others, reinforcing the message of hope and salvation.

Verse 3. - Declare his glory among the heathen. Publish God's praise, not only in Israel, but to the ends of the earth. Let all mankind hear the joyful news (comp. Psalm 2:8; Psalm 47:1, 8; Psalm 138:4). His wonders among all people; rather, among all the peoples; i.e. "all the nations of the earth" (see ver. 7).
