Psalm 96:1–12

1 Sing to the Lordt a new song;u

sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing to the Lord, praise his name;v

proclaim his salvationw day after day.

3 Declare his gloryx among the nations,

his marvelous deedsy among all peoples.

4 For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise;z

he is to be feareda above all gods.b

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols,c

but the Lord made the heavens.d

6 Splendor and majestye are before him;

strength and gloryf are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the Lord,g all you families of nations,h

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

bring an offeringi and come into his courts.j

9 Worship the Lordk in the splendor of hisa holiness;l

tremblem before him, all the earth.n

10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns.o”

The world is firmly established,p it cannot be moved;q

he will judger the peoples with equity.s

11 Let the heavens rejoice,t let the earth be glad;u

let the sea resound, and all that is in it.

12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;

let all the trees of the forestv sing for joy.w
