Psalms 96:4-5

Context

96:4 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise;

he is more awesome than all gods. 1 

96:5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, 2 

but the Lord made the sky.

1 tn Or perhaps “and feared by all gods.” See Ps 89:7.

2 tn The Hebrew term אֱלִילִים (’elilim, “worthless”) sounds like אֱלֹהִים (’elohim, “gods”). The sound play draws attention to the statement.
