Psalms 96

1 Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, Sing to Yahweh, all the earth;

Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

2 Sing to Yahweh, bless ye his Name, —Tell the tidings, from day to day, of his salvation:

Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

3 Recount, Among the nations, his glory, Among all the peoples, his wonders.

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

4 For great is Yahweh, and worthy to be mightily praised, To be revered is he above all gods;

For Yahweh 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 peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

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

Honor 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;

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

8 Give to Yahweh, the glory of his Name, Bring a present, and enter his courts;

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to 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!

Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble 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 nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.

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

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

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 and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy

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