Psalms 96:1-2
An Invitation to Praise and Honour God; A Call to Glorify God.This section is a joyful call for everyone to praise and honor God. The psalmist uses strong and repeated words to encourage us to worship God with deep respect and love. He explains that praising God should come from a thankful heart, and that everyone, everywhere, is invited to join in this praise. The passage also describes how we should worship God and gives reasons why He deserves our praise.v. 1–2: The psalmist says, Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day (Psalm 96:1–2 a). We are told three times to sing to God, showing how important it is. This new song is for everyone, not just for Israel, but for all people everywhere. We should praise God for His salvation, especially the great salvation through Jesus. This praise should be constant, every day, because God’s goodness never ends. –
