Psalms 96
1 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, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.
Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, above 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 nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.
Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say to the nations, ‘The Lord is king.’ The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.
Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all it containeth.
12 Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their joy
Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the forest rejoice
13 before the Lord: for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
