< Psalms 96 >

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! [You people] throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!
שִׁ֣ירוּ לַ֭יהוָה שִׁ֣יר חָדָ֑שׁ שִׁ֥ירוּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּל־הָאָֽרֶץ׃
2 Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved/rescued us.
שִׁ֣ירוּ לַ֭יהוָה בָּרֲכ֣וּ שְׁמֹ֑ו בַּשְּׂר֥וּ מִיֹּֽום־לְ֝יֹ֗ום יְשׁוּעָתֹֽו׃
3 Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous [things that he has done].
סַפְּר֣וּ בַגֹּויִ֣ם כְּבֹודֹ֑ו בְּכָל־הָֽ֝עַמִּ֗ים נִפְלְאֹותָֽיו׃
4 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,
כִּ֥י גָ֘דֹ֤ול יְהוָ֣ה וּמְהֻלָּ֣ל מְאֹ֑ד נֹורָ֥א ה֝֗וּא עַל־כָּל־אֱלֹהִֽים׃
5 because all the gods that other people-groups [worship] are [only] idols, but Yahweh [is truly great]; he created the skies!
כִּ֤י ׀ כָּל־אֱלֹהֵ֣י הָעַמִּ֣ים אֱלִילִ֑ים וַֽ֝יהוָ֗ה שָׁמַ֥יִם 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.
הֹוד־וְהָדָ֥ר לְפָנָ֑יו עֹ֥ז וְ֝תִפְאֶ֗רֶת בְּמִקְדָּשֹֽׁו׃
7 You people in nations all over the earth, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
הָב֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה מִשְׁפְּחֹ֣ות עַמִּ֑ים הָב֥וּ לַ֝יהוָ֗ה כָּבֹ֥וד וָעֹֽז׃
8 Praise Yahweh like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.
הָב֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה כְּבֹ֣וד שְׁמֹ֑ו שְׂאֽוּ־מִ֝נְחָ֗ה וּבֹ֥אוּ לְחַצְרֹותָֽיו׃
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.
הִשְׁתַּחֲו֣וּ לַ֭יהוָה בְּהַדְרַת־קֹ֑דֶשׁ חִ֥ילוּ מִ֝פָּנָ֗יו כָּל־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.”
אִמְר֤וּ בַגֹּויִ֨ם ׀ יְה֘וָ֤ה מָלָ֗ךְ אַף־תִּכֹּ֣ון תֵּ֭בֵל בַּל־תִּמֹּ֑וט יָדִ֥ין עַ֝מִּ֗ים 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].
יִשְׂמְח֣וּ הַ֭שָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵ֣ל הָאָ֑רֶץ יִֽרְעַ֥ם הַ֝יָּ֗ם וּמְלֹאֹֽו׃
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
יַעֲלֹ֣ז שָׂ֭דַי וְכָל־אֲשֶׁר־בֹּ֑ו אָ֥ז יְ֝רַנְּנ֗וּ כָּל־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.
לִפְנֵ֤י יְהוָ֨ה ׀ כִּ֬י בָ֗א כִּ֥י בָא֮ לִשְׁפֹּ֪ט הָ֫אָ֥רֶץ יִשְׁפֹּֽט־תֵּבֵ֥ל בְּצֶ֑דֶק וְ֝עַמִּ֗ים בֶּאֱמוּנָתֹֽו׃
