PSALM 96
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1O sing a new song to the Lord:
sing all the earth to God.
2To God sing, bless his name, shew still
his saving health abroad.
3Among the heathen nations
his glory do declare;
And unto all the people shew
his works that wondrous are.
4For great's the Lord,
and greatly he is to be magnify'd;
Yea, worthy to be fear'd is he
above all gods beside.
5For all the gods are idols dumb,
which blinded nations fear;
But our God is the Lord, by whom
the heav'ns created were.
6Great honour is before his face,
and majesty divine;
Strength is within his holy place,
and there doth beauty shine.
7Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,
of people ev'ry tribe,
Glory do ye unto the Lord,
and mighty pow'r ascribe.
8Give ye the glory to the Lord
that to his name is due;
Come ye into his courts, and bring
an offering with you.
9In beauty of his holiness,
O do the Lord adore;
Likewise let all the earth throughout
tremble his face before.
10Among the heathen say, God reigns;
the world shall stedfastly
Be fix'd from moving; he shall judge
the people righteously.
11Let heav'ns be glad before the Lord,
and let the earth rejoice;
Let seas, and all that is therein,
cry out, and make a noise.
12Let fields rejoice, and ev'ry thing
that springeth of the earth:
Then woods and ev'ry tree shall sing
with gladness and with mirth
13Before the Lord; because he comes,
to judge the earth comes he:
He'll judge the world with righteousness,
the people faithfully.

Psalm 96
1Sing a new song to the Lord.
All you people of the earth, sing to the Lord.
2Sing to the Lord. Praise him.
Day after day tell about how he saves us.
3Tell the nations about his glory.
Tell all people about the wonderful things he has done.
4The Lord is great. He is really worthy of praise.
People should have respect for him as the greatest God of all.
5All the gods of the nations are like their statues.
They can’t do anything.
But the Lord made the heavens.
6Glory and majesty are all around him.
Strength and glory can be seen in his temple.
7Praise the Lord, all you nations.
Praise the Lord for his glory and strength.
8Praise the Lord for the glory that belongs to him.
Bring an offering and come into the courtyards of his temple.
9Worship the Lord because of his beauty and holiness.
All you people of the earth, tremble when you are with him.
10Say to the nations, “The Lord rules.”
The world is firmly set in place. It can’t be moved.
The Lord will judge the people of the world fairly.
11Let the heavens be full of joy. Let the earth be glad.
Let the ocean and everything in it roar.
12Let the fields and everything in them be glad.
Let all the trees in the forest sing for joy.
13Let all creation be full of joy in front of the Lord,
because he is coming to judge the earth.
He will faithfully judge the people of the world
in keeping with what is right.
