< Psalms 96 >
1 Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.
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, from day to day herald his victory.
3 Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.
4 For great is Jehovah, and greatly 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 Jehovah made the heavens.
for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.
7 Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe unto Jehovah 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 Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.
Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble before him, all the earth.
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 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 Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will 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.
