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! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory amongst the nations, his marvellous works amongst all the peoples.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared 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 peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

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

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

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

Give to the LORD, O you kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

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

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

9 Worship 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 amongst the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigns: 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 let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof.

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

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood 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 LORD: for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
