Salmos 96:1-8

1 Canten al SEÑOR un cántico nuevo;canten al SEÑOR, habitantes de toda la tierra.

2 Canten al SEÑOR, alaben su nombre;anuncien día tras día su victoria.

3 Proclamen su gloria entre las naciones,sus maravillas entre todos los pueblos.

4 ¡Grande es el SEÑOR y digno de alabanza,más temible que todos los dioses!

5 Todos los dioses de las naciones no son nada,pero el SEÑOR ha creado los cielos.

6 El esplendor y la majestad son sus heraldos;hay poder y belleza en su santuario.

7 Tributen al SEÑOR, pueblos todos,tributen al SEÑOR la gloria y el poder.

8 Tributen al SEÑOR la gloria que merece su nombre;traigan sus ofrendas y entren en sus atrios.

Salmos 96:1-8 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\\
