Psalms 96

1 When the house was built after the Captivity, a Song of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Sing to YHWH a new song, Sing to YHWH all the earth.

2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day.

Sing to YHWH, bless His Name, Proclaim His salvation from day to day.

3 Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people.

Declare His glory among nations, His wonders among all the peoples.

4 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.

For YHWH [is] great, and greatly praised, He [is] fearful over all gods.

5 For all the gods of the heathen are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

For all the gods of the peoples [are] nothing, And YHWH made the heavens.

6 Thanksgiving and beauty are before him: holiness and majesty are in his sanctuary.

Splendor and majesty [are] before Him, Strength and beauty in His sanctuary.

7 Bring to the Lord, you families of the Gentiles, bring to the Lord glory and honor.

Ascribe to YHWH, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to YHWH glory and strength.

8 Bring to the Lord the glory [becoming] his name: take offerings, and go into his courts.

Ascribe to YHWH the glory of His Name, Lift up a present and come into His courts.

9 Worship the Lord in his holy court: let all the earth tremble before him.

Bow yourselves to YHWH, In the honor of holiness, Be afraid of His presence, all the earth.

10 Say among the heathen, The Lord reigns: for he has established the world so that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people in righteousness.

Say among nations, “YHWH has reigned, Also—the world is established, unmoved, He judges the peoples in uprightness.”

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth exult; let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it.

The heavens rejoice, and the earth is joyful, The sea and its fullness roar.

12 The plains shall rejoice, and all things in them: then shall all the trees of the wood exult before the presence of the Lord:

The field exults, and all that [is] in it, Then all trees of the forest sing,

13 for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Before YHWH, for He has come, For He has come to judge the earth. He judges the world in righteousness, And the peoples in His faithfulness!
