Psalms 96

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	NEW AMERICAN 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 to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.	2 Sing to the LORD, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.
3 A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.	3 Tell God's glory among the nations; among all peoples, God's marvelous deeds.
4 His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.	4 For great is the LORD and highly to be praised, 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 the gods of the nations all do nothing, but the LORD made the heavens.
6 The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.	6 Splendor and power go before him; power and grandeur are in his holy place.
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 the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and might;
8 Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.	8 give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts and enter his courts;
9 For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.	9 bow down to the LORD, splendid in holiness. Tremble before God, 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 nations: The LORD is king. The world will surely stand fast, never to be moved. God rules the peoples with fairness.
11 The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.	11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea and what fills it resound;
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.	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.
