Psalm 96:1–9

KING OF THE EARTH

1 Sing a new song to the Lord;

let the whole earth sing to the Lord.ag

2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

proclaim his salvation from day to day.ah

3 Declare his glory among the nations,

his wondrous works among all peoples.a

4 For the Lord is great and is highly praised;

he is feared above all gods.b

5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,

but the Lord made the heavens.c

6 Splendor and majesty are before him;

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.d

7 Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.e

8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name;f

bring an offering and enter his courts.g

9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of his holiness;h

let the whole earth tremble before him.i
