Salmos 96:6-13

6 Honor y majestad lo rodean;
fuerza y belleza llenan su santuario.

7 Oh naciones del mundo, reconozcan al Señor
;
reconozcan que el Señor
es fuerte y glorioso.

8 ¡Den al Señor
la gloria que merece!
Lleven ofrendas y entren en sus atrios.

9 Adoren al Señor
en todo su santo esplendor;
que toda la tierra tiemble delante de él.

10 Digan a todas las naciones: «¡El Señor
reina!».
El mundo permanece firme y no puede ser sacudido.
Él juzgará a todos los pueblos con imparcialidad.

11 ¡Que los cielos se alegren, y la tierra se goce!
¡Que el mar y todo lo que contiene exclamen sus alabanzas!

12 ¡Que los campos y sus cultivos estallen de alegría!
Que los árboles del bosque susurren con alabanza

13 delante del Señor
, ¡porque él viene!
Viene a juzgar la tierra.
Juzgará al mundo con justicia
y a las naciones con su verdad.

Salmos 96:6-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 96

This psalm was written by David, as appears from 1Ch 16:7,23 to whom it is ascribed by the Septuagint, Vulgate Latin, and all the Oriental versions. This and part of Psalm 105 were first composed and sung at the bringing of the ark from the house of Obededom to the city of David; and here it is detached from that with a new introduction to it, and applied to the times and kingdom of the Messiah, and; with great propriety, since the ark was an eminent type of him. The inscription in the Syriac version is,

``a Psalm of David, a Prophecy of the coming of the Messiah, and of the calling of the Gentiles that believe in him:''

and very rightly, since express mention is made of them in it, and of the publication of the Gospel among them; and clear reference is had to Christ, who is the Jehovah all along spoken of Jarchi well observes, that wherever a "new song" is mentioned, it is to be understood of future time, or the times of the Messiah; and the end of the psalm shows it,

\\he cometh to judge\\
