Psalms 96

1 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.

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

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

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

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

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 terrible above all gods.

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

5 For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

10 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.

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

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

12 The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

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

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.
