Psalms 96

1 Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; 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 his name; announce his salvation day after day.

Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

4 For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

For great is the LORD, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.

8 Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.

Ascribe unto the LORD the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9 Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.

Say among the nations: 'The LORD reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.

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

12 Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy

Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

13 before Yahweh, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.

Before the LORD, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
