< Psalms 96 >
1 O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth.
O sing unto the LORD a new song; sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
Sing unto the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
4 For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all 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 the LORD made the heavens.
For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honor and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.
Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto the LORD glory and strength.
8 Give to the LORD the glory [due to] his name: 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 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will judge the people righteously.
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 rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:
Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;
13 For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
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.
