Psalms 96:10

"Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth."

Key Reflection

In Psalms 96:10, the call to worship the LORD with "holy array" emphasizes the need for believers to approach God in a fitting and reverent manner, adorned with spiritual purity and devotion. The command for the entire earth to "tremble before him" underscores the awe-inspiring nature of God's presence, reflecting a sense of profound reverence and fear that is appropriate when in His presence, as this posture acknowledges His supreme authority and majesty.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Say among the heathen -Among the nations; all nations. Make this proclamation everywhere. This is changed from the parallel passage in1 Chronicles 16:0. The language there is, “Fear before him, all the earth; the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved: let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let people say among the nations, The Lord reigneth.” The sense is, however, essentially the same. The idea here is, “Make universal proclamation that Yahweh is King.” That the Lord reigneth -See the notes atPsalms 93:1. The world also shall be established ... -Under the reign of God. The meaning is, that the world is fixed or immovable.
