Psaumes 96:7-8 BDS

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:8

Bring an offering, and come into his courts. This psalm is one continuous appeal for all to render praise unto the Lord. Not men alone, though they, of course, chief of all, are to join in the song unto the Lord; but the heavens, the earth, the sea, the fields, the trees,—all are to testify to their Creator's praise. And the psalm tells of a threefold expression of this joy in God. 1 . The song. All are to join in; no stopping to inquire into the motives, but all are to sing ( ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 96:8

Offerings associated with worship. Oriental custom demands that every person seeking an audience with a king shall offer him a present. An Eastern traveller writes, "It is counted uncivil to visit in this country without an offering in hand. All great men expect it as a kind of tribute due to their character and authority, and look upon themselves as affronted, and indeed defrauded, when this compliment is omitted." For illustration, reference may be made to Saul, anxious about a present... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 96:7

Give unto the Lord - Ascribe unto the Lord - to Yahweh. This is extracted literally from 1 Chronicles 16:28.O ye kindreds of the people - Hebrew, “Families” of the people: people, as united by family ties. The idea is that of worship not merely as individuals, nor as a mere “aggregate” of individuals united by no common bonds, but as those united by strong ties; bound by blood and affection; constituted into communities. It is a call on such to worship God in their capacity as thus bound... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 96:8

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name - This also is literally taken from 1 Chronicles 16:0: Psa 96:1-13 :28. The margin here is, as in Hebrew, of “his name:” the honor of his name. The idea is that which is expressed in our translation. Bring to God what is due to him; or, render such an acknowledgment as he deserves and claims. Acknowledge him as God, and acknowledge him to be such a God as he is. Let the honor due to God as such be given him; and let the honor due to him, for the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 96:1-13

Psalms 95-96 God the creator of the universeSix psalms, 95 to 100, are grouped so as to form a series for use in temple worship. The first psalm opens by calling people to worship God because he is the saviour (95:1-2), the great God (3), the creator and controller of the universe (4-5), the maker of the human race (6) and, above all, the covenant Lord and shepherd of his people (7). Worship, however, must be joined to obedience. Israel’s experiences in the wilderness show that people might... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Psalms 96:8

Psalms 96:8. Give unto the Lord, &c.— After David has exhorted the people to praise and to give thanks to God for his peculiar mercies to them, he breaks out into a rapture of gratitude, in contemplation of the infinite bounty and benignity of the Creator; and calls upon the whole creation to fill up the chorus of his praise; Give unto the Lord, &c. to the end of the psalm. In 1Ch 16:34 he returns to his own people, O give thanks unto the Lord, &c. and concludes with those words... read more
