Psalms 96

1 A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

2 Sing to the Lord and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.

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

3 Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.

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

4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond 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 Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.

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

6 Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.

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

7 Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

8 Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.

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

9 Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.

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

10 Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.

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

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.

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

12 The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice

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

13 before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.

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