Psalm
Psalms, 96
1 *1 Sing to Jehovah a new song. Sing to Jehovah, all [YOU people of] the earth.*2
|
2 Sing to Jehovah, bless his name. From day to day tell the good news of salvation by him.
3 Declare among the nations his glory, Among all the peoples his wonderful works.
4 For Jehovah is great and very much to be praised. He is fear-inspiring above all [other] gods.
5 For all the gods*1 of the peoples are valueless gods;*2 But as for Jehovah, he has made the very heavens.
|
6 Dignity and splendor are before him; Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe*1 to Jehovah,*2 O YOU families of the peoples, Ascribe to Jehovah*3 glory and strength.
|
8 Ascribe to Jehovah*1 the glory belonging to his name; Carry a gift and come into his courtyards.
|
9 Bow down to Jehovah*1 in holy adornment;*2 Be in severe pains because of him, all [YOU people of] the earth.*3
|
10 Say among the nations: “Jehovah*1 himself has become king. The productive land*2 also becomes firmly established so that it cannot be made to totter. He will plead the cause of the peoples in uprightness.”
|
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be joyful.*1 Let the sea thunder and that which fills it.
|
12 Let the open field exult and all that is in it. At the same time let all the trees of the forest break out joyfully
13 Before Jehovah.*1 For he has come; For he has come to judge the earth. He will judge the productive land*2 with righteousness And the peoples with his faithfulness.
