Psalms 96

1 O sing to Jehovah a new song; Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!

When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing to Jehovah; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!

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

3 Proclaim his glory among the nations, His wonders among all people!

Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

4 For Jehovah is great, 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 above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.

Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!

Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

8 Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Bring an offering, and come into his courts!

Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9 O worship Jehovah in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth!

Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10 Say among the nations, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.

Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

11 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

12 Let the fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest rejoice

The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13 Before Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.

for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
