Psalm 96

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! Announce every day how he delivers! 96:3 Tell the nations about his splendor! Tell all the nations about his amazing deeds! 96:4 For the Lord is great and certainly worthy of praise; he is more awesome than all gods. 96:5 For all the gods of the nations are worthless, but the Lord made the sky. 96:6 Majestic splendor emanates from him; his sanctuary is firmly established and beautiful. 96:7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the nations, ascribe to the Lord splendor and strength! 96:8 Ascribe to the Lord the splendor he deserves! Bring an offering and enter his courts! 96:9 Worship the Lord in holy attire! Tremble before him, all the earth! 96:10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns! The world is established, it cannot be moved. He judges the nations fairly.” 96:11 Let the sky rejoice, and the earth be happy! Let the sea and everything in it shout! 96:12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate! Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy
