Psalms 96

1 Singe ye a newe song to the Lord; al erthe, synge ye to the Lord.

Oh sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the lands.

2 Synge ye to the Lord, and blesse ye his name; telle ye his heelthe fro dai in to dai.

Sing unto the Lord, bless his name: announce from day to day his salvation.

3 Telle ye his glorie among hethene men; hise merueilis among alle puplis.

Relate among the nations his honor, among all the people his wonders.

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 praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For alle the goddis of hethene men ben feendis; but the Lord made heuenes.

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord hath made the heavens.

6 Knouleching and fairnesse is in his siyt; hoolynesse and worthi doyng is in his halewing.

Glory and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ye cuntrees of hethene men, brynge to the Lord, bringe ye glorye and onour to the Lord;

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye families of the people, ascribe unto the Lord honor and strength.

8 bringe ye to the Lord glorie to hys name. Take ye sacrificis, and entre ye in to the hallis of hym;

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor [due unto] his name: bear hither a present, and come unto his courts.

9 herie ye the Lord in his hooli halle. Al erthe be moued of his face;

Bow down unto the Lord in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all ye lands.

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 reigneth;” [therefore] also the world is ever firmly established that it shall hot be moved: he will judge the people in equity.

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 rejoice, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roar, with all that filleth it.

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 exult, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the forest sing for 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 cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and people in his truth.
