Psalm 96:6

Hebrew Bible

4 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods. 5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the sky. 6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful. 7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength. 8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves. Bring an offering and enter his courts.

1 Chronicles 16:27

Hebrew Bible

25 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise, he is more awesome than all gods. 26 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the heavens. 27 Majestic splendor emanates from him, he is the source of strength and joy. 28 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength! 29 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his presence! Worship the Lord in holy attire!

 Notes and References

"... In place of the Masoretic Text's וְ֝תִפְאֶ֗רֶת בְּמִקְדָּשֽׁוֹ׃ ('in His sanctuary and glory'), a few manuscripts and 1 Chronicles 16:27 have וְחֶדְוָ֖ה בִּמְקֹמֽוֹ׃ ('in His place and joy'); unless this was simply a confusion of words, it may have been a way of generalizing the word in a psalm attributed to David ..."
