Psalms 96 · Grade 4

Tell the Nations

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 96 has no title. It is a missionary song. Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. God's people are told to proclaim his salvation from day to day and declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

The psalm explains why. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens. The nations are invited too: Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

The message is simple: Say among the nations, Yahweh reigns. Then all creation joins in. Let the heavens be glad, the earth rejoice, the sea roar, and the trees of the woods sing for joy. God's judgment is good news, because he will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

Psalms 96 · Grade 5

Yahweh Reigns Among the Nations

Name Date

Read and Think

Psalm 96 has no title in the Psalter, but almost all of it also appears in 1 Chronicles 16, in the song of thanks sung when the ark was brought to Jerusalem in David's day. It opens with a triple call: Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth. Sing to Yahweh! A new song fits a new act of God's salvation, and here the whole earth is the choir.

The psalm sets Yahweh against the gods of the nations: For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens. The Hebrew word for idols sounds like a word for worthless things. Then a second triple call echoes the first: Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength. Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. The nations are not only told about God; they are invited to worship him.

The climax is a message for the world: Say among the nations, Yahweh reigns. The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity. All creation celebrates: heavens, earth, sea, fields and trees. God's coming judgment is pictured as joyful, because he will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

  1. Where else does most of Psalm 96 appear?

  2. What do the two triple calls ask for?

  3. What does the Hebrew word for idols sound like?

  4. Why does creation celebrate God's judgment?
