Psalm 96

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

2Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

3Declare his glory among the nations, his wonders among all peoples.

4For Yahweh is great and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but Yahweh made the heavens.

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

7Give to Yahweh, you families of the peoples, give to Yahweh glory and strength.

8Give to Yahweh the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.

9Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

10Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be shaken. He will judge the peoples with fairness.

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

12Let the fields exult, and everything in them; then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13before Yahweh, for he is coming, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.
