< Psalms 96 >
1 Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.
Sing to YHWH, 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 nations, His wonders 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 YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over 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] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.
Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.
8 Give to Yahweh the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.
Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.
9 Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, 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 nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.
The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.
12 Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy
The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,
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 YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
