Psalms

96 Sing a new song for Jehovah;

sing for Jehovah, all the earth!

2 Sing for Jehovah, bless his name,

tell the good news of his salvation day after day,

3 Tell the tale of his glory among the nations,

among all the peoples his wondrous feats,

4 Because Jehovah is great and high-praised;

he is terrible over all gods,

5 For all the peoples’ gods are trumperies,

but Jehovah made the skies.

6 Majesty and splendor are before him,

might and magnificence in his sanctuary.

7 Give to Jehovah, clans of peoples,

give to Jehovah glory and might!

8 Give to Jehovah the glory that belongs to his name;

carry an offering and come into his courts.

9 Do reverence to Jehovah in stately sacred garb;

tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Say among the nations “Jehovah is king,

has established the world too, not to be disturbed,

will give fair verdicts for peoples.”

11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth jubilant,

let the sea and what fills it thunder,

12 Let fields and everything in them exult,

then let all trees on the rocks shout,

13 Before Jehovah, because he has come,

because he has come to judge the earth!

He will judge the world aright

and peoples faithfully.
