< Psalms 96 >
1 Singe ye a newe song to the Lord; al erthe, synge ye to the Lord.
O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2 Synge ye to the Lord, and blesse ye his name; telle ye his heelthe fro dai in to dai.
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3 Telle ye his glorie among hethene men; hise merueilis among alle puplis.
Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4 For the Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; he is ferdful aboue alle goddis.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
5 For alle the goddis of hethene men ben feendis; but the Lord made heuenes.
For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Knouleching and fairnesse is in his siyt; hoolynesse and worthi doyng is in his halewing.
Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7 Ye cuntrees of hethene men, brynge to the Lord, bringe ye glorye and onour to the Lord;
Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 bringe ye to the Lord glorie to hys name. Take ye sacrificis, and entre ye in to the hallis of hym;
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9 herie ye the Lord in his hooli halle. Al erthe be moued of his face;
O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10 seie ye among hethene men, that the Lord hath regned. And he hath amendid the world, that schal not be moued; he schal deme puplis in equite.
Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
11 Heuenes be glad, and the erthe make ful out ioye, the see and the fulnesse therof be moued togidere; feeldis schulen make ioye,
Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12 and alle thingis that ben in tho. Thanne alle the trees of wodis schulen make ful out ioye, for the face of the Lord, for he cometh;
Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13 for he cometh to deme the erthe. He schal deme the world in equite; and puplis in his treuthe.
Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.
