< Psalms 96 >
1 Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.
O sing to Jehovah a new song; Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.
Sing to Jehovah; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!
3 Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.
Proclaim his glory among the nations, His wonders among all people!
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
For Jehovah is great, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.
6 Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.
7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.
Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.
Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.
O worship Jehovah in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.
Say among the nations, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
Let the fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest rejoice
13 Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
Before Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.
