Psalms
Psalm 96:10–12
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
