Psalm 96

A Song of Praise

(1 Chronicles 16.23-33)

1O sing unto the Lord a new song:

sing unto the Lord , all the earth.

2Sing unto the Lord , bless his name;

show forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the heathen,

his wonders among all people.

4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:

he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols:

but the Lord made the heavens.

6Honor and majesty are before him:

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7Give unto the Lord , O ye kindreds of the people,[#Ps 29.1,2.]

give unto the Lord glory and strength.

8Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name:

bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:

fear before him, all the earth.

10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth:

the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

he shall judge the people righteously.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;

let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13before the Lord : for he cometh,

for he cometh to judge the earth:

he shall judge the world with righteousness,

and the people with his truth.
