Psalms 96

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

A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. 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 and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.

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

Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.

4 For Yhwh 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, beyond all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: But Yhwh made the heavens.

For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.

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

Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.

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

Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.

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

Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.

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.

Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.

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

The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice

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 face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.
