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.

O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth.

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

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

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

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond all gods.

For the LORD [is] great, 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 nations [are] idols: but the LORD 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.

Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

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

Give to the LORD 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.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear 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 heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will judge the people righteously.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.

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 be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:

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.

For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
