Psalms 96

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

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

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

Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

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

Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

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 terrible above all gods.

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

For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

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

Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

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

Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

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

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

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

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

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 heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

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

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

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.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
