Read Psalms 96 in context

Scripture Focus

1O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
8Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
Psalms 96:1-13

Biblical Context

Psalm 96 invites all beings to praise the Lord and declare His glory, culminating in the Lord’s righteous judgment and the joy of holiness.

Neville's Inner Vision

All of the verses are addressed to your inner state. When you hear 'sing a new song' you are being invited to renew the state of consciousness you inhabit. The 'earth' and the 'heathen' are not others but the thoughts and beliefs that crowd your mind. The statement 'the Lord reigns' is your realization that the I AM within governs your inner world; all judgments and truths arise from that central awareness. To worship in the 'beauty of holiness' is to dwell in clean desire and steady feeling; to 'fear before Him' is to release resistance to the truth you have chosen. The line about idols dissolves as you recognize that any lack or separation is a counterfeit of your one true state. When you declare that the world is established and that you shall be judged righteously, you are rehearsing the law of your appointed order—the inner decree that makes the outer orderly. Your atmosphere becomes joyful and your environment reflects the ruling presence you have assumed. The offering and worship speak of where you invest attention; give glory and strength to the I AM by centering your consciousness in the reign that is yours.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes, and in imagination declare: I AM reigns in my inner world; I sing a new song and the feeling of that reign fills me. Maintain that feeling for a few minutes and notice how thoughts, moods, and circumstances begin to align with the state.
