< Psalms 96 >
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
O sing to Jehovah a new song; Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!
2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
Sing to Jehovah; praise his name, Show forth his salvation from day to day!
3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
Proclaim his glory among the nations, His wonders among all people!
4 For great [is] Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He [is] over all gods.
For Jehovah is great, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples [are] nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.
For all the gods of the nations are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Honor and majesty are before him; Glory and beauty are in his holy abode.
7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
Give to Jehovah, ye tribes of the people, Give to Jehovah glory and praise!
8 Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.
Give to Jehovah the glory due to his name; Bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.
O worship Jehovah in holy attire! Tremble 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, Jehovah is king; The world shall stand firm; it shall not be moved; He will judge the nations in righteousness.
11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
Let the fields be joyful, with all that is therein; Let all the trees of the forest rejoice
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 Jehovah! for he cometh, He cometh to judge the earth! He will judge the world with justice, And the nations with faithfulness.
