PSALM 96
1Sing to the LORD a new song!
Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2Sing to the LORD, bless His name,
Bring tidings every day of His rescue.
3Recount among the nations His glory,
among all the peoples His wonders.
4For great is the LORD and most praised,
fearsome is He over all the gods.
5For all gods of the peoples are ungods,
but the LORD has made the heavens.
6Greatness and grandeur before Him,
strength and splendor in His sanctuary.
7Grant to the LORD, O families of peoples,
grant to the LORD glory and strength.
8Grant to the LORD His name’s glory,
bear tribute and come to His courts.
9Bow to the LORD in sacred grandeur;
quake before Him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations: The LORD reigns.
Yes, the world stands firm, will not shake.
He metes out justice to peoples righteously.
11Let the heavens rejoice and the earth exult,
let the sea and its fullness thunder.
12Let the field be glad and all that is in it,
then shall all the trees of the forest gladly sing
13before the LORD, for He comes,
He comes to judge the earth.
14He judges the world in justice
and peoples in His faithfulness.
