Psalms 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, 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 to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

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

3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.

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

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 terrible above all 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 heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

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

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

Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

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

9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

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

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 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 the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

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

12 Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will 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 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.

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