Psalms 96

1 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.

Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

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

Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

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

Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.

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

For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;

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

For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.

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

Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.

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

Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;

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

Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;

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

Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!

10 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.

Say among the nations, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

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

Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,

13 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.

Before Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
