Psalms 96

1 Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

2 Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

3 Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

4 For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.

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

5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

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

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

7 Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

8 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

9 Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

10 Say among nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”

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 The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

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

Let the field exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,

13 Before YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

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.
