Psalm 96:11-13
New English Translation
11 Let the sky rejoice, and the earth be happy.
Let the sea and everything in it shout.
12 Let the fields and everything in them celebrate.
Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy

For he comes to judge the earth.
He judges the world fairly,[a]
and the nations in accordance with his justice.[b]
Footnotes

- Psalm 96:13 tn Heb “and the nations with his integrity.”
