Psalms 96

1 Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

2 Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!

Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

3 Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.

Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.

4 For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.

For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;

5 For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!

For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.

Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.

7 Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.

Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;

8 Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.

Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;

9 Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.

Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!

10 Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.

Say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!

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

12 Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.

Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,

13 In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.

Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
