Psalms 96:10

Say among the heathen, in joyful proclamation of the essence and works of God, that the Lord reigneth, Jehovah alone being King of the universe; the world also shall be established, firmly founded, that it shall not be moved, no one being able to overthrow the Messiah's kingdom; He shall judge the people righteously, in uprightness and justice. With such ideal Messianic conditions obtaining, the psalmist launches forth in a last exultant admonition.
