Psalms 96

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

1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

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

2 Sing to Yahweh! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!

3 Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

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

4 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

4 For Yahweh 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 it is the LORD who made the heavens.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

6 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

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

7 Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations, ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

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

8 Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

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

9 Worship Yahweh in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.

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

10 Say among the nations, “Yahweh 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 the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!

12 Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

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 is coming—He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.

13 before Yahweh; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
