Psalms 96
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
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.
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.
Sing to the Lord and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.
4 For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.
For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.
Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.
8 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.
Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.
10 Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
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.
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.
12 Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;
The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice
13 Before the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
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.
