Psalm 96

New English Translation

   1 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
   2 Sing to the LORD! Praise his name! Announce every day how he delivers!
   3 Tell the nations about his splendor! Tell all the nations about his amazing deeds!
   4 For the LORD is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods.
   5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the LORD made the sky.
   6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful.
   7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD splendor and strength!
   8 Ascribe to the LORD the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his courts!
   9 Worship the LORD in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth!
   10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns! The world is established, it cannot be moved. He judges the nations fairly."
   11 Let the sky rejoice, and the earth be happy! Let the sea and everything in it shout!
   12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate! Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy
   13 before the LORD, for he comes! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in accordance with his justice.

King James Version

   1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
   2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
   3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
   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 nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
   6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
   7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
   8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
   9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
   10 Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
   11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
   12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
   13 Before the LORD: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
