Psalm 96

1  Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. 2  Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day. 3  Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples. 4  For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods. 5  For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens. 6  Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7  Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength; 8  Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts; 9  Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.

10  Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. 11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; 12  Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy, 13  Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
