Psalms 96

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

A Canticle of David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. 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 and bless his name. Announce his salvation from day to day.

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

Announce his glory among the Gentiles, his miracles among all peoples.

4 For great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He is terrible, beyond all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but YHWH made the heavens.

For all the gods of the Gentiles are demons, but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Confession and beauty are in his sight. Sanctity and magnificence are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to YHWH, you families of nations, ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

Bring to the Lord, you natives of the nations, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

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

Bring to the Lord glory for his name. Lift up sacrifices, and enter into his courts.

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

Adore the Lord in his holy court. Let the entire earth be shaken before his face.

10 Say among the nations, "YHWH reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

Say among the Gentiles: The Lord has reigned. For he has even corrected the whole world, which will not be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.

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

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth exult; let the sea and all its fullness be moved.

12 Let the field and all that is in it exult. Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

The fields and all the things that are in them will be glad. Then all the trees of the forest will rejoice

13 before YHWH; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.

before the face of the Lord: for he arrives. For he arrives to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with fairness and the peoples with his truth.
