Psalm 96

^1-2    Sing GOD a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing!
   Sing to God—worship GOD! ^2-3    Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
   Take the news of his glory to the lost,
   News of his wonders to one and all! ^4-5    For GOD is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs.
   His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
   Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags. ^5-6    GOD made the heavens—
   Royal splendor radiates from him,
   A powerful beauty sets him apart. ⁷    Bravo, GOD, Bravo!
   Everyone join in the great shout: Encore!
   In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might. ^8-9    Bring gifts and celebrate,
   Bow before the beauty of God,
   Then to your knees—everyone worship!

¹⁰    Get out the message—God Rules!
   He put the world on a firm foundation;
   He treats everyone fair and square.

¹¹    Let's hear it from Sky,
   With Earth joining in,
   And a huge round of applause from Sea.

¹²    Let Wilderness turn cartwheels,
   Animals, come dance,
   Put every tree of the forest in the choir—

¹³    An extravaganza before God as he comes,
   As he comes to set everything right on earth,
   Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
