Psalms 96

1O sing to the LORD a new song: sing to the LORD, all the earth. 2Sing to the LORD, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day. 3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people. 4For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods. 5For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens. 6Honor and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary. 7Give to the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give to the LORD glory and strength. 8Give to the LORD the glory [due to] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. 9O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 10Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he will judge the people righteously. 11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it. 12Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD: 13For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
