Psalms 96

1 O sing unto YHWH a new song: sing unto YHWH, all the earth.

Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Sing unto YHWH, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

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

Declare His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all peoples.

4 For YHWH is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all elohim.

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the elohim of the nations are idols: but YHWH made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

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

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

7 Give unto YHWH, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto YHWH glory and strength.

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

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

Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

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

Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

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

Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

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

before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
