Psalm 96

¹Sing to the Lord a new song; *sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.

²Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the nations *and his wonders among all peoples.

⁴For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *he is more to be feared than all gods.

⁵As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

⁶Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!

⁷Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *ascribe to the Lord honor and power.

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *bring offerings and come into his courts.

⁹Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *let the whole earth tremble before him.

¹⁰Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *let the field be joyful and all that is therein.

¹²Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the Lord when he comes, *when he comes to judge the earth.

¹³He will judge the world with righteousness *and the peoples with his truth.
