Psalms, 96

1. Sing a new song to Yahweh! Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!

1. O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth!

2. Sing to Yahweh, bless his name! Proclaim his salvation day after day,

2. Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day.

3. declare his glory among the nations, his marvels to every people!

3. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!

4. Great is Yahweh, worthy of all praise, more awesome than any of the gods.

4. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.

5. All the gods of the nations are idols! It was Yahweh who made the heavens;

5. For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but the LORD made the heavens.

6. in his presence are splendour and majesty, in his sanctuary power and beauty.

6. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7. Give to Yahweh, families of nations, give to Yahweh glory and power,

7. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!

8. give to Yahweh the glory due to his name! Bring an offering and enter his courts,

8. Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts!

9. adore Yahweh in the splendour of his holiness. Tremble before him, all the earth.

9. Worship the LORD in holy array; tremble before him, all the earth!

10. Say among the nations, 'Yahweh is king.' The world is set firm, it cannot be moved. He will judge the nations with justice.

10. Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns! Yea, the world is established, it shall never be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."

11. Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad! Let the sea thunder, and all it holds!

11. Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it;

12. Let the countryside exult, and all that is in it, and all the trees of the forest cry out for joy,

12. let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

13. at Yahweh's approach, for he is coming, coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with saving justice, and the nations with constancy.

13. before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.
