Psalms
Psalm 96:11–13
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.
