Psalms 96

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

2 Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

4 For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.

For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

8 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

9 Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

10 Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

12 Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
