Psalms 96
1 Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD a new song. Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.
Sing to the LORD. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.
3 Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4 For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, above all gods:
For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.
Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Say to the nations, ‘The Lord is king.’ The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.
Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.
12 Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their joy
Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13 before the Lord: for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
before the LORD; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
