6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
6 Royal splendor radiates from him, A powerful beauty sets him apart.
6 Honor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
6 Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.

1041 Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great: You are clothed with honor and majesty,
1041 Let all that I am praise the Lord . O Lord my God, how great you are! You are robed with honor and majesty.
(Read Psalm 104:1-9)
Every object we behold calls on us to bless and praise the Lord, who is great. His eternal power and Godhead are clearly shown by the things which he hath made. God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. The Lord Jesus, the Son of his love, is the Light of the world.
3 Glorious and majestic are his deeds, and his righteousness endures forever.
3 His work is honourable and glorious: and his righteousness endureth for ever.
3 Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.
3 Splendor and beauty mark his craft; His generosity never gives out.
3 His work is honorable and glorious, And His righteousness endures forever.
3 Everything he does reveals his glory and majesty. His righteousness never fails.
The Lord is to be praised for his works.
The psalmist resolves to praise God himself. Our exhortations and our examples should agree together. He recommends the works of the Lord, as the proper subject, when we are praising him; and the dealings of his providence toward the world, the church, and particular persons. All the works of the Lord are spoken of as one, it is his work; so admirably do all the dispensations of his providence centre in one design. The works of God, humbly and diligently sought into, shall all be found just and holy. God's pardoning sin is the most wonderful of all his works, and ought to be remembered to his glory. He will ever be mindful of his covenant; he has ever been so, and he ever will be so. His works of providence were done according to the truth of the Divine promises and prophecies, and so were verity, or truth; and by him who has a right to dispose of the earth as he pleases, and so are judgment, or righteous: and this holds good of the work of grace upon the heart of man, verses 7,8. All God's commandments are sure; all have been fulfilled by Christ, and remain with him for a rule of walk and conversation to us. He sent redemption unto his people, out of Egypt at first, and often afterwards; and these were typical of the great redemption, which in the fulness of time was to be wrought out by the Lord Jesus. Here his everlasting righteousness shines forth in union with his boundless mercy. No man is wise who does not fear the Lord; no man acts wisely except as influenced by that fear. This fear will lead to repentance, to faith in Christ, to watchfulness and obedience. Such persons are of a good understanding, however poor, unlearned, or despised.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 96:6
Commentary on Psalm 96:1-9
(Read Psalm 96:1-9)
When Christ finished his work on earth, and was received into his glory in heaven, the church began to sing a new song unto him, and to bless his name. His apostles and evangelists showed forth his salvation among the heathen, his wonders among all people. All the earth is here summoned to worship the Lord. We must worship him in the beauty of holiness, as God in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself. Glorious things are said of him, both as motives to praise and matter of praise.
