Psalms 96

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

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, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

4 For great is the LORD, 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 nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

for all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendour and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

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

Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble 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 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 the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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 comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
