Psalms 96

1 O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.

Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

2 Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.

3 Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.

For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.

6 Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.

Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.

Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;

8 Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.

Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;

9 O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.

Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 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.

Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12 Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with 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 come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.

Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
