Psalm 96
Darby Translation · 13 verses
1Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.2Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day.3Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples.4For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods.5For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens.6Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.7Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength;8Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts;9Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth.10Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;12Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy,13Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
