Psalms 96

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

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.

2 Sing to the LORD. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

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

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

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

4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

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

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

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

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

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

7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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.
