Psalms 96

1 A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing to the Lord a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

2 Sing to the Lord and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.

Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.

3 Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all 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 terrible, beyond all gods.

For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.

5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.

6 Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.

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

7 Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

8 Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.

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

9 Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.

Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

10 Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.

Say among nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.

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

12 The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice

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

13 before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.

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!
