What Does Psalms 96:7 Mean?

The call extends to 'kindreds of the people'—all ethnic groups and families throughout the world. This universal invitation shows that worship of the true God is not confined to one nation or tradition but belongs to all humanity.

To 'give unto the LORD glory and strength' is an exhortation to recognize and publicly acknowledge that all power and excellence belong to Him alone. This giving of glory is not material but consists of heartfelt recognition and declaration of His sovereignty.
