< Psalms 96 >
1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
Singe ye a newe song to the Lord; al erthe, synge ye to the Lord.
2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
Synge ye to the Lord, and blesse ye his name; telle ye his heelthe fro dai in to dai.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
Telle ye his glorie among hethene men; hise merueilis among alle puplis.
4 For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.
For the Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; he is ferdful aboue alle goddis.
5 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
For alle the goddis of hethene men ben feendis; but the Lord made heuenes.
6 Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.
Knouleching and fairnesse is in his siyt; hoolynesse and worthi doyng is in his halewing.
7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
Ye cuntrees of hethene men, brynge to the Lord, bringe ye glorye and onour to the Lord;
8 Give unto the LORD the glory [due unto] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
bringe ye to the Lord glorie to hys name. Take ye sacrificis, and entre ye in to the hallis of hym;
9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
herie ye the Lord in his hooli halle. Al erthe be moued of his face;
10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
seie ye among hethene men, that the Lord hath regned. And he hath amendid the world, that schal not be moued; he schal deme puplis in equite.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
Heuenes be glad, and the erthe make ful out ioye, the see and the fulnesse therof be moued togidere; feeldis schulen make ioye,
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
and alle thingis that ben in tho. Thanne alle the trees of wodis schulen make ful out ioye, for the face of the Lord, for he cometh;
13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
for he cometh to deme the erthe. He schal deme the world in equite; and puplis in his treuthe.
