Psalm, 96
1 Sing to Jehovah a new song. Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!
2 Sing to Jehovah; praise his name. Proclaim the good news of his salvation day after day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations, His wonderful works among all the peoples.
4 Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise. He is more awe-inspiring than all other gods.
5 All the gods of the peoples are worthless gods, But Jehovah is the one who made the heavens.
6 In his presence are majesty*1 and splendor; Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
|
7 Give Jehovah his due, you families of the peoples, Give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength.
8 Give Jehovah the glory due his name; Bring a gift and come into his courtyards.
9 Bow down to*1 Jehovah in holy adornment;*2 Tremble before him, all the earth!
|
10 Declare among the nations: “Jehovah has become King! The earth*1 is firmly established, it cannot be moved.*2 He will judge*3 the peoples fairly.”
|
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be joyful; Let the sea thunder and all that fills it;
12 Let the fields and everything in them rejoice. At the same time let all the trees of the forest shout joyfully
13 Before Jehovah, for he is coming,*1 He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the inhabited earth*2 with righteousness And the peoples with his faithfulness.
