Psalm 96

[1] O sing to the LORD a new song;   

         sing to the LORD, all the earth.   

[2] Sing to the LORD, bless his name;   

         tell of his salvation from day to day.   

[3] Declare his glory among the nations,   

         his marvelous works among all the peoples.   

[4] For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;   

         he is to be revered above all gods.   

[5] For all the gods of the peoples are idols,   

         but the LORD made the heavens.   

[6] Honor and majesty are before him;   

         strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.   

[7] Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,   

         ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.   

[8] Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;   

         bring an offering, and come into his courts.   

[9] Worship the LORD in holy splendor;   

         tremble before him, all the earth.

[10] Say among the nations, "The LORD is king!   

         The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved.   

         He will judge the peoples with equity."   

[11] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;   

         let the sea roar, and all that fills it;   

[12] let the field exult, and everything in it.   

    Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy   

[13] before the LORD; for he is coming,   

         for he is coming to judge the earth.   

    He will judge the world with righteousness,   

         and the peoples with his truth.
