Psalm 96:6-8
Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!

I just went to the on-line dictionary and looked up the word – “Ascribe”. Here’s what I found:
to attribute or think of as belonging, as a quality or characteristic
So the Psalmist is saying that we should think of God as a being who deserves being thought of this way – as a God who has glory and strength. To do otherwise would be doing God, and everyone who knows you, a disservice.
Because what you are thinking about God, if you are ascribing these things to him, is based on truth. To do otherwise would be to act against the truth.
