Psalms 96

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

O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.

2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

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

Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

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

For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.

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

For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Honor and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.

7 Give to the LORD, O you kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.

Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.

8 Give to the LORD the glory due to his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.

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

O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.

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

Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.

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

Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;

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

Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,

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

Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
