Psalms
The Psalter is Israel’s hymnbook: lament, praise, thanksgiving, royal psalms, and wisdom. It trains the heart to speak to God in trouble and in joy, and it points ahead to the Messiah.
Geneva Bible 1599
Psalms 96
1Sing vnto the Lord a newe song: sing vnto the Lord, all the earth. 2Sing vnto the Lord, and prayse his Name: declare his saluation from day to day. 3Declare his glory among all nations, and his wonders among all people. 4For the Lord is great and much to be praysed: he is to be feared aboue all gods. 5For all the gods of the people are idoles: but the Lord made the heauens. 6Strength and glory are before him: power and beautie are in his Sanctuarie. 7Giue vnto the Lord, ye families of the people: giue vnto the Lord glory and power. 8Giue vnto the Lord the glory of his Name: bring an offering, and enter into his courtes. 9Worship the Lord in the glorious Sanctuarie: tremble before him all the earth. 10Say among the nations, The Lord reigneth: surely the world shalbe stable, and not moue, and he shall iudge the people in righteousnesse. 11Let the heauens reioyce, and let the earth be glad: let the sea roare, and all that therein is. 12Let the field be ioyfull, and all that is in it: let all the trees of the wood then reioyce 13Before the Lord: for he commeth, for he cometh to iudge the earth: he wil iudge the world with righteousnes, and the people in his trueth.
