< Psalms 96 >
1 Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.
3 Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.
4 For the Lord is great, and greatly 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.
6 Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.
8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.
9 Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.
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.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.
12 Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
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.
