Psalms 96:2

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name -This verse is substantially the same as1 Chronicles 16:23; “Sing unto the Lord, all the earth; show forth from day to day his salvation.” Show forth his salvation -His interposition; the fact that he has saved or delivered us. This may have referred originally in particular to what he had done to save the people in time of danger, but the language is such also as to express salvation in a higher sense - salvation from sin and death. As such it may be employed to express what God has done for mankind - for all people, Jews and Gentiles - in providing a way of salvation, and making it possible that they should reach heaven.
