Psalm 96
96
Worship in the Splendor of Holiness
1 # For ver. 1-13, see 1 Chr. 16:23-33 Oh sing to the Lord #Ps. 98:1; See Ps. 33:3a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
# [Isa. 52:7; 60:6] tell of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4For #See Ps. 48:1 great is the Lord, and #Ps. 18:3 greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above #See Ps. 95:3all gods.
5For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord #Ps. 115:15; Isa. 42:5; 44:24; Jer. 10:12made the heavens.
6Splendor and majesty are before him;
# [Ps. 78:61] strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Ascribe to the Lord, O #Ps. 22:27 families of the peoples,
# See Ps. 29:1 ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8Ascribe to the Lord #Ps. 29:2 the glory due his name;
bring #[Ps. 45:12]; See Ps. 68:29; 72:10 an offering, and #Ps. 100:4come into his courts!
9Worship the Lord in #See Ps. 29:2 the splendor of holiness;#96:9 Or in holy attire
#
Ps. 114:7
tremble before him, all the earth!
10Say among the nations, #See Ps. 93:1 “The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will #ver. 13; See Ps. 9:8; 58:11judge the peoples with equity.”
11Let #See Ps. 69:34 the heavens be glad, and let #Ps. 97:1 the earth rejoice;
let #Ps. 98:7the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12let #[Isa. 35:1] the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all #[Isa. 55:12]the trees of the forest sing for joy
13before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes #See Isa. 11:1-9to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Psalms 96
96
Sing a new song to the LORD
1Sing a new song to the LORD!
Everyone on this earth,
sing praises to the LORD,
2sing and praise his name.
Day after day announce,
“The LORD has saved us!”
3Tell every nation on earth,
“The LORD is wonderful
and does marvellous things!
4The LORD is great and deserves
our greatest praise!
He is the only God
worthy of our worship.
5Other nations worship idols,
but the LORD created
the heavens.
6Give honour and praise
to the LORD,
whose power and beauty
fill his holy temple.”
7Tell everyone of every nation,#Ps 29.1,2.
“Praise the glorious power
of the LORD.
8He is wonderful! Praise him
and bring an offering
into his temple.
9Everyone on earth, now tremble
and worship the LORD,
majestic and holy.”
10Announce to the nations,
“The LORD is King!
The world stands firm,
never to be shaken,
and he will judge its people
with fairness.”
11Tell the heavens and the earth
to be glad and celebrate!
Command the ocean to roar
with all its creatures
12and the fields to rejoice
with all their crops.
Then every tree in the forest
will sing joyful songs
13to the LORD.
He is coming to judge
all people on earth
with fairness and truth.
