Psalms 96

Catholic Public Domain Bible	King James Bible
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.	¹ O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.
² Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.	² Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.
³ A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.	³ Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
⁴ His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.	⁴ For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
⁵ The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.	⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.
⁶ The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.	⁶ Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
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.	⁷ Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.
⁸ Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.	⁸ Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.
⁹ For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.	⁹ O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.
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.	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 The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.	¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
¹² Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.	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.
