< Psalms 96 >

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! [You people] throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!
שִׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ שִׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved/rescued us.
שִׁירוּ לַיהֹוָה בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ בַּשְּׂרוּ מִיּֽוֹם־לְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָתֽוֹ׃
3 Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous [things that he has done].
סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכׇל־הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאוֹתָֽיו׃
4 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,
כִּי גָדוֹל יְהֹוָה וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד נוֹרָא הוּא עַל־כׇּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
5 because all the gods that other people-groups [worship] are [only] idols, but Yahweh [is truly great]; he created the skies!
כִּי ׀ כׇּל־אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים וַיהֹוָה שָׁמַיִם עָשָֽׂה׃
6 Those who are in his presence honor him and can see that he is a great king. They can see in his temple that he is very powerful and is very beautiful.
הוֹד־וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו עֹז וְתִפְאֶרֶת בְּמִקְדָּשֽׁוֹ׃
7 You people in nations all over the earth, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כָּבוֹד וָעֹֽז׃
8 Praise Yahweh like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.
הָבוּ לַיהֹוָה כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאֽוּ־מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְחַצְרוֹתָֽיו׃
9 Bow down before Yahweh [when he appears] in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.
הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַיהֹוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹדֶשׁ חִילוּ מִפָּנָיו כׇּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
10 Say to all the people-groups, “Yahweh is the king! He put the world in its place, and nothing will ever be able to move/shake it. He will judge [all] the people-groups fairly.”
אִמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם ׀ יְהֹוָה מָלָךְ אַף־תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל־תִּמּוֹט יָדִין עַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃
11 [All the beings that are in] [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all [the people on the] earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh].
יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִֽרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאֽוֹ׃
12 The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, [it will be as though] all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully
יַעֲלֹז שָׂדַי וְכׇל־אֲשֶׁר־בּוֹ אָז יְרַנְּנוּ כׇּל־עֲצֵי־יָֽעַר׃
13 in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to [what he knows is] true.
לִפְנֵי יְהֹוָה ׀ כִּי בָא כִּי בָא לִשְׁפֹּט הָאָרֶץ יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק וְעַמִּים בֶּאֱמוּנָתֽוֹ׃
