Psalm 96

 

 

1                    Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

 

2                    Sing to the LORD, praise His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

 

3                    Declare his glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.

 

4                    For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; He is to be feared above all gods.

 

5                    For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

 

6                    Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and glory are in His sanctuary.

 

7                    Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

 

8                    Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and come into His courts.

 

9                    Worship the LORD in the splendor of His [a] holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

 

10               Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.”  The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

 

11               Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

 

12               let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.  Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;

 

13               they will sing before the LORD, for He comes, He comes to judge the earth.  He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His truth.
