Psalms 96

NEW JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, al the earth!	1 This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice.
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,	2 Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.
3 declare his glory among the nations, his marvels to every people!	3 A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.
4 Great is Yahweh, worthy of al praise, more awesome than any of the gods.	4 His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.
5 Al the gods of the nations are idols! It was Yahweh who made the heavens;	5 The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.
6 in his presence are splendour and majesty, in his sanctuary power and beauty.	6 The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.
7 Give to Yahweh, families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,	7 May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him.
8 give to Yahweh the glory due to his name! Bring an offering and enter his courts,	8 Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 adore Yahweh in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, al the earth.	9 For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Say among the nations, 'Yahweh is king.' The world is set firm, it cannot be moved. He wil judge thenations with justice.	10 You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner.
11 Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad! Let the sea thunder, and al it holds!	11 The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.
12 Let the countryside exult, and al that is in it, and al the trees of the forest cry out for joy,	12 Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.
13 at Yahweh's approach, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world withsaving justice, and the nations with constancy.
