Psalms 96

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

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

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

Sing to the LORD. Bless his name. Proclaim his salvation from day to day.

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

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

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

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be 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 peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

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

Honor 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 to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

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

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

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

Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

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 reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness.

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

Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall 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 comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
