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 to the LORD a new song!
Sing to the LORD, all the earth!
2Sing to the LORD! Bless his name!
Share the news of his saving work every single day!
3Declare God’s glory among the nations;
declare his wondrous works among all people
4because the LORD is great and so worthy of praise.
He is awesome beyond all other gods
5because all the gods of the nations are just idols,
but it is the LORD who created heaven!
6Greatness and grandeur are in front of him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Give to the LORD, all families of the nations—
give to the LORD glory and power!
8Give to the LORD the glory due his name!
Bring gifts!
Enter his courtyards!
9Bow down to the LORD in his holy splendor!
Tremble before him, all the earth!
10Tell the nations, “The LORD rules!
Yes, he set the world firmly in place;#96.10 LXX, Vulg; MT the world is firmly established; cf Ps 93:1
it won’t be shaken.
He will judge all people fairly.”
11Let heaven celebrate! Let the earth rejoice!
Let the sea and everything in it roar!
12Let the countryside and everything in it celebrate!
Then all the trees of the forest too
will shout out joyfully
13before the LORD because he is coming!
He is coming to establish justice on the earth!
He will establish justice in the world rightly.
He will establish justice among all people fairly.
