Chapter 96

¹Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: sing unto Jehovah, all the earth. ²Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; publish his salvation from day to day. ³Declare his glory among the nations, his wondrous works among all the peoples. ⁴For Jehovah is great and exceedingly to be praised; he is terrible above all gods. ⁵For all the gods of the peoples are idols; but Jehovah made the heavens. ⁶Majesty and splendour are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. ⁷Give unto Jehovah, ye families of peoples, give unto Jehovah glory and strength; ⁸Give unto Jehovah the glory of his name; bring an oblation and come into his courts; ⁹Worship Jehovah in holy splendour; tremble before him, all the earth. ¹⁰Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth! yea, the world is established, it shall not be moved; he will execute judgment upon the peoples with equity. ¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; ¹²Let the field exult and all that is therein. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy, ¹³Before Jehovah, for he cometh; for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.
