King James Bible
For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

American Standard Version

Young's Literal Translation

Psalm 96:4 Additional Translations
Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

He is to be feared above all gods - I think the two clauses of this verse should be read thus: -

Jehovah is great, and greatly to be praised.

Elohim is to be feared above all.

I doubt whether the word אלהים Elohim is ever, by fair construction, applied to false gods or idols. The contracted form in the following verse appears to have this meaning.
