< Psalms 96 >
1 Singe ye a newe song to the Lord; al erthe, synge ye to the Lord.
O SING unto the LORD a new song: sing unto 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 unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Telle ye his glorie among hethene men; hise merueilis among alle puplis.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the 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 highly to be 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 peoples are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Knouleching and fairnesse is in his siyt; hoolynesse and worthi doyng is in his halewing.
Honour 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;
Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto 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 unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9 herie ye the Lord in his hooli halle. Al erthe be moued of his face;
O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: 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 among the nations, The LORD reigneth: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved: he shall 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 let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
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 wood 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 shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.
