Psalm 96:1–13

¹Sing to the LORD a new song;

sing to the LORD, all the earth.

²Sing to the LORD, bless His name;

proclaim His salvation day after day.

³Declare His glory among the nations,

His wonders among all peoples.

⁴For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised;

He is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the nations are idols,

but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

⁶Splendor and majesty are before Him;

strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

⁷Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations,

ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

⁸Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name;

bring an offering and enter His courts.

⁹Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness;

tremble before Him, all the earth.

¹⁰Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!”

The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved;

He will judge the peoples with equity.

¹¹Let the heavens be glad

and the earth rejoice;

let the sea resound,

and all that fills it.

¹²Let the fields exult,

and all that is in them.

Then all the trees of the forest

will sing for joy ¹³before the LORD,

for He is coming—

He is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

and the peoples in His faithfulness.
