Psalms 96:13

before the Lord; for He cometh, for He cometh to judge the earth, to visit the earth with a wonderful judgment; He shall judge the world with righteousness, that gained by the Messiah for the entire lost and condemned world of sinners, and the people with His truth, the faithfulness of His gracious promises, as fulfilled in Messiah's coming. Thus were the glories of the Messianic period of grace sung before the believers of the Old Testament. How much more ought we Christians to sing of the glories of mercy and truth revealed to us and given to us in Jesus Christ and His redemption!
