Psalms 96

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

O sing to Jehovah a new song; Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!

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

Sing to Jehovah; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!

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

Proclaim his glory among the nations, 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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah made the heavens.

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

Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.

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

Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

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

Give to Jehovah the glory due to 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 Jehovah in holy attire! Tremble 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 nations, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.

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 be glad, and the earth rejoice; 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 fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest 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 Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.
