Psalm 96
1 Sing
to the LORD
a new song!
Sing to the
LORD, all
the earth.
2 Sing
to the LORD!
Bless his name!
Proclaim his
salvation from day
to day!
3 Declare
his glory among
the nations,
his marvelous
works among all
the peoples.
4 For
the LORD is
great, and greatly
to be praised!
He is to
be feared above
all gods.
5 For
all the gods of
the peoples
are idols,
but the LORD
made the heavens.
6 Honor
and majesty are
before him.
Strength and
beauty are in
his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe
to the LORD,
you families of
nations,
ascribe to the
LORD glory and
strength.
8 Ascribe
to the LORD
the glory due to
his name.
Bring an offering,
and come into
his courts.
9 Worship
the LORD in
holy array.
Tremble before
him, all the earth.
10 Say among
the nations, “The
LORD reigns.”
The world is
also established.
It can’t be moved.
He will judge
the peoples with
equity.
11 Let
the heavens be
glad, and let
the earth rejoice.
Let the sea
roar, and its
fullness!
12 Let the
field and all
that is in
it exult!
Then all the
trees of the
woods shall sing
for joy
13 before
the LORD; for
he comes,
for he comes
to judge the earth.
He will judge
the world with
righteousness,
the peoples with
his truth.
