Psalms

Chapter 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 amongst the nations , his marvellous works amongst 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 Honour 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 amongst 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.
