< Psalms 96 >
1 Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.
Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
2 Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.
Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
3 Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.
Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
4 For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.
For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he 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 things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Praise 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.
Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
8 Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.
Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
9 Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, 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, Yahweh, hath become King, Surely he hath fixed the world, it shall not be shaken, 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 rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,
Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
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 Yahweh, for he is coming, For he is coming to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, in his faithfulness.
