Psalms 96

1 A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

O sing to Jehovah a new song; Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!

2 Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Sing to Jehovah; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!

3 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

Proclaim his glory among the nations, His wonders among all people!

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

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

5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

6 Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.

7 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

8 Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Bring an offering, and come into his courts!

9 Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.

O worship Jehovah in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth!

10 Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

Say among the nations, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

Let the fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest rejoice

13 Before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.

Before Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.
