Psalms 96

1 O SING unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, 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 nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

7 Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all the earth.

Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, The LORD reigneth: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved: he shall judge the peoples with equity.

Say to the nations, ‘The Lord is king.’ The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their joy

13 Before the LORD, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

before the Lord: for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
