Psalms 96

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

Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

4 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.

9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.

11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.

12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy

13 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

before Yahweh, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.
