< Psalms 96 >
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
O 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, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
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 to be feared above 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 nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.
Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.
Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
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 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 be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and all it containeth.
12 Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;
Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it: then shall all the trees of the forest 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 LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
