Psalm 96

¹Sing a new song to the LORD! Let the whole earth sing to the LORD! ² Sing to the LORD; praise his name. Each day proclaim the good news that he saves. ³ Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does. ⁴ Great is the LORD! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. ⁵ The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the LORD made the heavens! ⁶ Honor and majesty surround him; strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.

⁷O nations of the world, recognize the LORD; recognize that the LORD is glorious and strong. ⁸ Give to the LORD the glory he deserves! Bring your offering and come into his courts. ⁹ Worship the LORD in all his holy splendor. Let all the earth tremble before him. ¹⁰ Tell all the nations, “The LORD reigns!” The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples fairly.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! ¹² Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy! Let the trees of the forest rustle with praise ¹³ before the LORD, for he is coming! He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice, and the nations with his truth.
