Psalms 96

1 Sing to the Lord a new song! All the earth, sing to the Lord!

O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2 Sing to the Lord, and of his wonderful reputation! Each day let everyone know of his salvation!

Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glorious acts among the nations, the amazing things he does among all peoples.

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and deserves the best praise! He is to be respected with awe above all gods.

For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of other nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens!

For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are his; power and glory are in his sanctuary.

Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.

7 Give the Lord acclamation, nations of the world, acclaim him with glory and strength.

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

8 Give the Lord the glory he deserves; bring an offering and come into his courts.

Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 Worship the Lord in his magnificent holiness; let all the earth tremble in his presence.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Tell the nations, “The Lord is in charge!” The world is held together firmly—it cannot be broken apart. He will judge everyone fairly.

Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens sing for joy, let the earth be happy, let the sea and everything in it shout with praise!

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

12 Let the fields and everything there celebrate; let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.

Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 In fact, let everything that stands before the Lord sing praises, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with fairness, and the nations with his truth.

Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
