Psalms 96

A Call to Worship the LORD the Righteous Judge.

1 1Sing to the LORD a 2new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; 3Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
3 Tell of 4His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
4 For 5great is the LORD and 6greatly to be praised; He is to be 7feared 8above all gods.
5 For 9all the gods of the peoples are idols, But 10the LORD made the heavens.
6 11Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, O 12families of the peoples, 13Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the 14glory of His name; Bring an 15offering and come into His courts.
9 16Worship the LORD in holy attire; 17Tremble before * Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, "18The LORD reigns; Indeed, the 19world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will 20judge the peoples with equity."
11 Let the 21heavens be glad, and let the 22earth rejoice; Let 23the sea roar, and all it contains;
12 Let the 24field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the 25trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before the LORD, 26for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. 27He will judge the world in righteousness And the peoples in His faithfulness.
