Psalms 96

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

² Sing to the LORD, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

³ Tell God's glory among the nations; among all peoples, God's marvelous deeds.

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

⁵ For the gods of the nations all do nothing, but the LORD made the heavens.

⁶ Splendor and power go before him; power and grandeur are in his holy place.

⁷ Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and might;

⁸ give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts and enter his courts;

⁹ bow down to the LORD, splendid in holiness. Tremble before God, all the earth;

¹⁰ say among the nations: The LORD is king. The world will surely stand fast, never to be moved. God rules the peoples with fairness.

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound;

¹² let the plains be joyful and all that is in them. Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice

¹³ before the LORD who comes, who comes to govern the earth, To govern the world with justice and the peoples with faithfulness.
