< Psalms 96 >
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.
O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.
Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.
Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
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] 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 the LORD made the heavens.
6 Honour and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.
Honor and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.
Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, 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 [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 the LORD in the beauty of holiness: 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 heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will judge the people righteously.
11 The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.
12 The field exulteth, and all that [is] in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,
Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:
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!
For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
