Psalms 96

Catholic Public Domain Bible	New Jerusalem 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 Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, al the earth!
² Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.	² Sing to Yahweh, bless his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,
³ A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.	³ declare his glory among the nations, his marvels to every people!
⁴ His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.	⁴ Great is Yahweh, worthy of al praise, more awesome than any of the gods.
⁵ The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.	⁵ Al the gods of the nations are idols! It was Yahweh who made the heavens;
⁶ The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.	⁶ in his presence are splendour and majesty, in his sanctuary power and beauty.
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 to Yahweh, families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,
⁸ Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.	⁸ give to Yahweh the glory due to his name! Bring an offering and enter his courts,
⁹ For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.	⁹ adore Yahweh in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, al 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 nations, 'Yahweh is king.' The world is set firm, it cannot be moved. He wil judge thenations with justice.
¹¹ The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.	¹¹ Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad! Let the sea thunder, and al it holds!
¹² Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.	¹² Let the countryside exult, and al that is in it, and al the trees of the forest cry out for joy,
	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.
