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














(9) O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.--Better, Bow before Jehovah in holy attire. But the LXX. and Vulgate have as in margin.

Fear before him.--Or literally, let all the earth be moved before his face.

Verse 9. - O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness (comp. 1 Chronicles 16:29; Psalm 29:2). This is generally explained as "holiday attire." or "in vestments suited to holy service," but may include, besides vestments, the other material accessories of Divine worship. Fear before him, all the earth; or, tremble before him (comp. Psalm 97:4). The fear of God is constantly inculcated by the psalmists, not only as "the beginning of wisdom" (Psalm 111:10), but as required of every man during his whole life (Psalm 19:9; Psalm 34:9; Psalm 40:3; Psalm 64:9; Psalm 86:11; Psalm 119:63, etc.).
