Ps 96, object of study of the present research, is a Hebrew poetry characterized as a descriptive praise, enriched with the theme of the reign of YHWH. In contrast to the first three books of the Psalter (cf. Ps 3-89), book IV (cf. Ps 90-106) opens a new perspective, with a theocratic ideal, emphasizing the sovereign action of YHWH who acts without a human regenter. And the Ps 96 potentizes the elements related to this action of YHWH, presenting him as King (cf. v. 10b), creator (cf. v. 5b) and judge (cf. v. 13), and inaugurating the theme of his universal sovereignty. As a poetic unit, Ps 96 is structured into three sections which are corroborated by syntactic, semantic and stylistic elements. In each section there is an express subject, proposing Israel as announcer of the good news of the salvific action of YHWH (cf. v. 1-3), inviting the families of the people to approach YHWH and dance before him (cf. 7-9), and calling on the whole cosmos to exult joy with intensity (cf. v. 11-12). In this invitation to distinct subjects, the YHWH s universality is also revealed, although always with a careful and emphatic centrality in YHWH, given the use of the third-person suffix, masculine, singular (i), in the personal pronoun הוּא and in the Sacred Tetragrammaton. As a descriptive praise, Ps 96 expresses a mood of intense joy, with the new song being sung by the people who celebrate the achievements of YHWH (cf. vv. 1-9) and his reign (cf. v. 10), and with all of creation that stirs in a noisy and festive way because of his coming (cf. vv. 11-13).
