Psalms 96

Psalm 96 ESV

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