Psalms 96

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

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, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, 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 nations are idols, but the Lord created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe 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.

Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

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

Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble 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 to the nations, “The Lord is king.” The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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

Let the field, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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 comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
