Psalm 96

PSALM 96

¹O sing to the Lord a new song;

sing to the Lord, all the earth!

²Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

tell of his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples!

⁴For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols;

but the Lord made the heavens.

⁶Honor and majesty are before him;

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

bring an offering, and come into his courts!

⁹Worship the Lord in holy array;

tremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!

Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved;

he will judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

¹²let the field exult, and everything in it!

Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

¹³before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

and the peoples with his truth.
