Psalms 96

1 Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

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

Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

4 For great is Jehovah, 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 terrible above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

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

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

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

7 Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

8 Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9 Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10 Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity.

Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

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

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13 Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
