< Psalms 96 >
1 Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;
O SING unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:
Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
4 For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For, all the gods of the peoples, are things of nought—But, Yahweh, made, the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Praise and majesty, are before him, Strength and beauty, are in his sanctuary.
Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Give to Yahweh, ye families of the peoples, Give to Yahweh, glory and strength;
Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
8 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;
Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 Bow down to Yahweh, in the adornment of holiness, Be in anguish at his presence, all the earth!
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
10 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.
Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult, Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
12 Let the field, leap for joy, and all that is therein, Then, shall all the trees of the forest, shout in triumph,
Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
13 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.
Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
