Psalm 96:1–13

¹Sing to the Lord^t a new song;^u

sing to the Lord, all the earth.

²Sing to the Lord, praise his name;^v

proclaim his salvation^w day after day.

³Declare his glory^x among the nations,

his marvelous deeds^y among all peoples.

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

he is to be feared^a above all gods.^b

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

but the Lord made the heavens.^d

⁶Splendor and majesty^e are before him;

strength and glory^f are in his sanctuary.

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

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

bring an offeringⁱ and come into his courts.^j

⁹Worship the Lord^k in the splendor of his^a holiness;^l

tremble^m before him, all the earth.ⁿ

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

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

he will judge^r the peoples with equity.^s

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

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

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

let all the trees of the forest^v sing for joy.^w

¹³Let all creation rejoice before the Lord, for he comes,

he comes to judge^x the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness^y

and the peoples in his faithfulness.^z
