96:1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

96:2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.

96:3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

96:4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.

96:5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

96:6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

96:7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

96:8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.

96:9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

96:10 Say among the nations, "The LORD reigns." The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.

96:11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

96:12 let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;

96:13 they will sing before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his truth.
