Psalms 96
1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.
Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4 For great is the LORD, 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 more to be feared than all other gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10 Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.
Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12 Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13 before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
