Psalms 96

1When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song by David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

3Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

5For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

7Bring to the Lord, ye families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honour.

8Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

9Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

10Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fulness of it.

12The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

13for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.
