Psalms 96

1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

Sing to YHWH a new song. Sing to YHWH, all the earth.

2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

Sing to YHWH. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

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

4 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

For great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

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

6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

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

7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

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

8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

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

9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

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

10 Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

Say among the nations, "YHWH reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

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

12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

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

13 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

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