Psalms 96

A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment¹Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth. ²Sing to the Lord, bless His name; Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. ³Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples. ⁴For the Lord is great 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. ⁷Give to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Give to the Lord glory and strength. ⁸Give to the Lord the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come into His courts. ⁹Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness! Tremble before Him, all the earth. ¹⁰Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns; The world also is firmly established, It shall not be moved; He shall judge the peoples righteously.” ¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; ¹²Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice ¹³before the Lord. For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with His truth.
