Psalms 96

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

Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.

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

Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim 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 nations, His wonders 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 YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over 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] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.

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

Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

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

Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.

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

Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, 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 nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”

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

The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.

12 Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,

The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,

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 YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
