Psalm 96

Yahweh the King Comes in Judgment

96Sing to^a Yahweh a new song;

sing to^b Yahweh, all the earth.

²Sing to^c Yahweh; bless his name.

Announce^d his salvation from day to day.

³Tell his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples.

⁴For Yahweh is great and very worthy of praise;

he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols,^e

but Yahweh made the heavens.

⁶Splendor and majesty are before him;

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of the peoples,

ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

⁸Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due his name;

bring an offering and come into his courts.

⁹Worship Yahweh in holy array;

tremble before him, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among the nations, “Yahweh is king!

Yes, the world is established so that it will not be moved.

He will judge the peoples fairly.”

¹¹Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice.

Let the sea with^f its fullness roar.

¹²Let the field with^g all that is in it exult.

Then all the trees of the forests will sing for joy

¹³before Yahweh, for he is coming;

for he is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

and the peoples with his faithfulness.
