Psalms 96
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10 Say among nations, 'Jehovah hath reigned, Also — established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'
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 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13 Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
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.
