he is to be feared above 96:4 See Ps. 95:3all gods.
5For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord96:5 Ps. 115:15; Isa. 42:5; 44:24; Jer. 10:12made the heavens.
6Splendor and majesty are before him;
96:6 [Ps. 78:61]strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will 96:10 ver. 13; See Ps. 9:8; 58:11judge the peoples with equity.”

11Let 96:11 See Ps. 69:34the heavens be glad, and let 96:11 Ps. 97:1the earth rejoice;
let 96:11 Ps. 98:7the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12let 96:12 [Isa. 35:1] the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all 96:12 [Isa. 55:12]the trees of the forest sing for joy
13before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes 96:13 See Isa. 11:1-9to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
