Psalms 96

Worship in the Splendor of Holiness

1  a Oh sing to the  Lord b a new song;
sing to the  Lord, all the earth!
 2 Sing to the  Lord, bless his name;
c tell of his salvation from day to day.
 3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
 4 For d great is the  Lord, and e greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above f all gods.
 5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the  Lord g made the heavens.
 6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
h strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
 7  Ascribe to the  Lord, O i families of the peoples,
j ascribe to the  Lord glory and strength!
 8 Ascribe to the  Lord k the glory due his name;
bring l an offering, and m come into his courts!
 9 Worship the  Lord in n the splendor of holiness; ▼
▼ Or  in holy attire

p tremble before him, all the earth!
 10  Say among the nations, q “The  Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will r judge the peoples with equity.”
 11  Let s the heavens be glad, and let t the earth rejoice;
let u the sea roar, and all that fills it;
 12 let v the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all w the trees of the forest sing for joy
 13 before the  Lord, for he comes,
for he comes x to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.
