Psalms 96

DOUAI-RHEIMS	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 A canticle for David himself, when the house was built after the captivity. Sing ye to the Lord a new canticle: sing to the Lord, all 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 ye to the Lord and bless his name: shew forth his salvation from day to day.	2 Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.
3 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.	3 A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.
4 For the Lord is great, and exceedingly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.	4 His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.
5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord 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 Praise and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.	6 The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.
7 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye kindreds of the Gentiles, bring ye to the Lord glory and honour:	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 bring to the Lord glory unto his name. Bring up sacrifices, and come into his courts:	8 Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 adore ye the Lord in his holy court. Let all the earth be moved at his presence.	9 For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.
10 Say ye among the Gentiles, the Lord hath reigned. For he hath corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the people 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 let the earth be glad, let the sea be moved, and the fulness thereof:	11 The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.
12 the fields and all things that are in them shall be joyful. Then shall all the trees of the woods rejoice	12 Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.
13 before the face of the Lord, because he cometh: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with his truth.
