Psalms 96

1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

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

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

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

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 praised: he is to be feared 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 nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

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

Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

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

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

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

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

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 reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

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 exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for 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 cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
