Psalm 96

Sing to Yahweh a new song!
    Sing to Yahweh, all the earth!
Sing to Yahweh! Praise his name!
    Day after day announce that Yahweh saves his people.
        Tell people about his glory.
        Tell all the nations about his miracles.

Yahweh is great!
    He should be highly praised.
    He should be feared more than all other gods
        because all the gods of the nations are idols.
    Yahweh made the heavens.
Splendor and majesty are in his presence.
    Strength and beauty are in his holy place.

Give to Yahweh, you families of the nations.
    Give to Yahweh glory and power.
Give to Yahweh the glory he deserves.
    Bring an offering, and come into his courtyards.
Worship Yahweh in his holy splendor.
    Tremble in his presence, all the earth!

10 Say to the nations, “Yahweh rules as king!”
    The earth stands firm; it cannot be moved.
    He will judge people fairly.
11 Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad.
    Let the sea and everything in it roar like thunder.
12 Let the fields and everything in them rejoice.
    Then all the trees in the forest will sing joyfully
13 in Yahweh’s presence because he is coming.
    He is coming to judge the earth.
        He will judge the world with righteousness
    and its people with his truth.
