Psalm 96

¹O SING unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

²Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.

⁴For great is the LORD, and highly 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.

⁶Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Give unto the LORD, ye kindreds of the peoples, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

⁸Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

⁹O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: tremble before him, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among the nations, The LORD reigneth: the world also is stablished that it cannot be moved: he shall judge the peoples with equity.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

¹²Let the field exult, and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

¹³Before the LORD, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

¹The LORD reigneth; let the earth rejoice; let the multitude of isles be glad.

²Clouds and darkness are round about him: righteousness and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

³A fire goeth before him, and burneth up his adversaries round about.

⁴His lightnings lightened the world: the earth saw, and trembled.

⁵The hills melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth;

⁶The heavens declare his righteousness, and all the peoples have seen his glory.

⁷Ashamed be all they that serve graven images, that boast themselves of idols: worship him, all ye gods.

⁸Zion heard and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced; because of thy judgments, O LORD.

⁹For thou, LORD, art most high above all the earth: thou art exalted far above all gods.

¹⁰O ye that love the LORD, hate evil: he preserveth the souls of his saints; he delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart.

¹²Be glad in the LORD, ye righteous; and give thanks to his holy name.

¹A Psalm. Sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvelous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath wrought salvation for him.

²The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.

³He hath remembered his mercy and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

⁵Sing praises unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp and the voice of melody:

⁶With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.

⁷Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

⁸Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together;

⁹Before the LORD, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
