Psalms 96

1 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.

Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

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

Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

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

Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

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

For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.

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

For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

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

Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

7 Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

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

Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

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

Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

10 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.

Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

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

The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

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

The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

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

Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
