< Psalms 96 >
1 Singe ye a newe song to the Lord; al erthe, synge ye to the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song, sing to the Lord, all the earth.
2 Synge ye to the Lord, and blesse ye his name; telle ye his heelthe fro dai in to dai.
Sing to the Lord, bless his name, from day to day herald his victory.
3 Telle ye his glorie among hethene men; hise merueilis among alle puplis.
Tell his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.
4 For the Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; he is ferdful aboue alle goddis.
For great is the Lord and worthy all praise; held in awe, 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 created the heavens.
6 Knouleching and fairnesse is in his siyt; hoolynesse and worthi doyng is in his halewing.
Before him are splendor and majesty, beauty and strength in his holy place.
7 Ye cuntrees of hethene men, brynge to the Lord, bringe ye glorye and onour to the Lord;
Ascribe to the Lord, you tribes of the nations, ascribe 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;
Ascribe to the Lord the glory he manifests: bring you an offering, enter his courts.
9 herie ye the Lord in his hooli halle. Al erthe be moued of his face;
Bow to the Lord in holy array: tremble 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 to the nations, “The Lord is king.” The world stands firm to be shaken no more. He will judge the peoples with 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 be glad and the earth rejoice, let the sea and its fulness thunder.
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, and all that is in it, exult; let the trees of the forest ring out their 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 comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with faithfulness.
