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.

A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

Sing ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.

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

Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared 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 Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

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

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

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

Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:

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

Bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:

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

Adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.

10 Say amongst 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 ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people with justice.

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 be moved, 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:

The fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice

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 the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
