Psalms 96:8 Summary
This verse is calling us to give God the honor and praise that He deserves, and to come before Him with a humble heart and a willingness to offer ourselves to Him. It's like saying, 'God, I want to give You the best of me, and I want to come into Your presence with a heart that is ready to worship You.' As we read in Psalms 100:4, we are to enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise, giving thanks to Him and blessing His name. By doing so, we can experience the joy and peace that comes from being in the presence of the Lord, as seen in Psalms 16:11, where the psalmist says that in God's presence is fullness of joy.

Gill's Exposition on Psalms 96:8
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name,.... Or "the glory of his name" (q); whose name is glorious and excellent, because of his nature and perfections, because of the works done by him, and
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 96:8
Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength. -Triple call to give unto the Lord glory, strength and worship. So in David's psalm, Psalms 29:1-2. Verse 7.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 96:8
Into the courts of his house. But under this one part of worship he comprehends the whole worship of God; and he speaks of the worship of the New Testament under the expressions of legal worship, as the prophets elsewhere do, as , and elsewhere.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 96:8
Psalms 96:8 Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.Ver. 8. Give unto the Lord the glory, &c.] It was hard for the heathens to forego their superstitions (Cicero resolved he would never do it, &c.), therefore they are here so pressed to it. See Revelation 14:6-7, with the notes there. One expositor giveth this note here, Ternarius numerus est sacer ob mysterium Triadis; ideo enim eo scriptura gaudet. The Scripture oft presseth or expresseth things thrice over, in reference to the mystery of the holy Trinity. Bring an offering] Reasonable service, Romans 12:1; spiritual sacrifices acceptable by Jesus Christ, 1 Peter 2:5.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 96:8
(8) Offering.—The minchah, or sacrifice of fine flour.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 96:8
Verse 8. Come into his courts.] Probably referring to the second temple. The reference must be either to the tabernacle or temple.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 96:8
8. The glory of his name is given to Jehovah when He is acknowledged as the One Living and True God. The offering is the ‘present’ which subjects bring to their lord in token of their submission (2 Samuel 8:2). Cp. Isaiah 60:5 ff. For into his courts 1 Chronicles 16:29 reads before him, to suit the time when the Temple was not yet built.
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 96:8
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name - This also is literally taken from 1 Chr. 16: Psalms 96:1-13 :28. The margin here is, as in Hebrew, of “his name:” the honor of his name.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 96:8
8. Glory due unto his name—Literally, The glory of his name; that is, ascribe to him the “glory” of his self-manifestations, whether in creation, providence, or redemption. See on Psalms 96:5.
