Chapter 96
Psalms
Verse 1Oh sing to the LORD a new song;sing to the LORD, all the earth!Verse 2Sing to the LORD, bless his name;tell of his salvation from day to day.Verse 3Declare his glory among the nations,his marvelous works among all the peoples!Verse 4For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;he is to be feared above all gods.Verse 5For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,but the LORD made the heavens.Verse 6Splendor and majesty are before him;strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.Verse 7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples,ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!Verse 8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;bring an offering, and come into his courts!Verse 9Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness;tremble before him, all the earth!Verse 10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns!Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;he will judge the peoples with equity.”Verse 11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;let the sea roar, and all that fills it;Verse 12let the field exult, and everything in it!Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joyVerse 13before the LORD, for he comes,for he comes to judge the earth.He will judge the world in righteousness,and the peoples in his faithfulness.
