Commentary on Psalms 96:1

Theological / Devotional

Sing unto the Lord. Compare Ps. 33:3; 98:1; Isa. 42:10. The expression is repeated three times in vs. 1, 2; such iteration is characteristic of this psalm (see vs. 7, 8, 13).

All the earth. The psalmist calls not only on his fellow Hebrews but on all the nations of the earth to celebrate God’s praise.
