Psalms 96

Sing to the LORD, All the Earth

(1 Chronicles 16:23–36)

1Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; proclaim from day to day his salvation (Yeshuah).
3Declare among the nations his glory, among all the peoples his marvelous works.
4For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.
5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name; lift up an offering and come into his courts.
9Bow down to the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations: "The LORD reigns." Also the world is established, it shall not be moved; he shall judge the peoples with equity.
11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and its fullness.
12Let the field exult, and all that is in it; then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,
13before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
