Psalms 96-98

Psalm 96

¹Sing to Jehovah a new song, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

²Sing to Jehovah, bless His name, Proclaim from day to day His salvation.

³Declare among nations His honour, Among all the peoples His wonders.

⁴For great is Jehovah, and praised greatly, Fearful He is over all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the peoples are nought, And Jehovah made the heavens.

⁶Honour and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

⁷Ascribe to Jehovah, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah honour and strength.

⁸Ascribe to Jehovah the honour of His name, Lift up a present and come in to His courts.

⁹Bow yourselves to Jehovah, In the honour of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among nations, ‘Jehovah hath reigned, Also -- established is the world, unmoved, He judgeth the peoples in uprightness.'

¹¹The heavens joy, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fulness roar.

¹²The field exulteth, and all that is in it, Then sing do all trees of the forest,

¹³Before Jehovah, for He hath come, For He hath come to judge the earth. He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!

Psalm 97

¹Jehovah hath reigned, The earth is joyful, many isles rejoice.

²Cloud and darkness are round about Him, Righteousness and judgment the basis of His throne.

³Fire before Him goeth, And burneth round about His adversaries.

⁴Lightened have His lightnings the world, The earth hath seen, and is pained.

⁵Hills, like wax, melted before Jehovah, Before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶The heavens declared His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His honour.

⁷Ashamed are all servants of a graven image, Those boasting themselves in idols, Bow yourselves to him, all ye gods.

⁸Zion hath heard and rejoiceth, And daughters of Judah are joyful, Because of Thy judgments, O Jehovah.

⁹For Thou, Jehovah, art Most High over all the earth, Greatly Thou hast been exalted over all gods.

¹⁰Ye who love Jehovah, hate evil, He is keeping the souls of His saints, From the hand of the wicked he delivereth them.

¹¹Light is sown for the righteous, And for the upright of heart -- joy.

¹²Rejoice, ye righteous, in Jehovah, And give thanks at the remembrance of his holiness!

Psalm 98

¹A Psalm. Sing ye to Jehovah a new song, For wonders He hath done, Given salvation to Him hath His right hand and His holy arm.

²Jehovah hath made known His salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, He hath revealed His righteousness,

³He hath remembered His kindness, And His faithfulness to the house of Israel, All ends of earth have seen the salvation of our God.

⁴Shout to Jehovah, all the earth, Break forth, and cry aloud, and sing.

⁵Sing to Jehovah with harp, With harp, and voice of praise,

⁶With trumpets, and voice of a cornet, Shout ye before the king Jehovah.

⁷Roar doth the sea and its fulness, The world and the inhabitants in it.

⁸Floods clap hand, together hills cry aloud,

⁹Before Jehovah, For He hath come to judge the earth, He judgeth the world in righteousness, And the people in uprightness!
