Psalms 96

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

Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

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

Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

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

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

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

For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

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

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.

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

Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

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

Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.

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

Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 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.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.

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

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.

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

Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy

13 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.

before Yahweh, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.
