Psalms
The fourth book of Psalms, song 96, New English Translation
Psalm 96
1 Sing to the L
ORD a new song! Sing to the L
ORD, all the earth!
2 Sing to the L
ORD! 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 L
ORD 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 L
ORD made the sky.
6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful.
7 Ascribe to the L
ORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the L
ORD splendor and strength!
8 Ascribe to the L
ORD the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his courts!
9 Worship the L
ORD in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, "The L
ORD 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 L
ORD, for he comes! For he comes to judge the earth! He judges the world fairly, and the nations in accordance with his justice.
