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, from day to day herald his victory.

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

Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

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

For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, 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 created the heavens.

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

Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.

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

Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the 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 he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.

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

Bow to 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 to the nations, “The Lord is king.” The world stands firm to be shaken no more. 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 the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.

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; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
