Psalms 96:5-6

Context

96:5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, 1 

but the Lord made the sky.

96:6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; 2 

his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful. 3 

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

2 tn Heb “majesty and splendor [are] before him.”

3 tn Heb “strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.”
