Chapter summary (Treasury of Scripture Knowledge, 1880)

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

96O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

8Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.a

9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.b

10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.c

12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
