Psalms 96:1-13

  • “Sing to Jehovah a new song”

    • Jehovah, most worthy of praise (4)

    • Peoples’ gods are worthless (5)

    • Worship in holy adornment (9)

96  Sing to Jehovah a new song.+ Sing to Jehovah, all the earth!+  2  Sing to Jehovah; praise his name. Proclaim the good news of his salvation day after day.+  3  Declare his glory among the nations,His wonderful works among all the peoples.+  4  Jehovah is great and most worthy of praise. He is more awe-inspiring than all other gods.  5  All the gods of the peoples are worthless gods,+But Jehovah is the one who made the heavens.+  6  In his presence are majesty* and splendor;+Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.+  7  Give Jehovah his due, you families of the peoples,Give Jehovah his due for his glory and strength.+  8  Give Jehovah the glory due his name;+Bring a gift and come into his courtyards.  9  Bow down to* Jehovah in holy adornment;*Tremble before him, all the earth! 10  Declare among the nations: “Jehovah has become King!+ The earth* is firmly established, it cannot be moved.* He will judge* the peoples fairly.”+ 11  Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be joyful;Let the sea thunder and all that fills it;+ 12  Let the fields and everything in them rejoice.+ At the same time let all the trees of the forest shout joyfully+ 13  Before Jehovah, for he is coming,*He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the inhabited earth* with righteousness+And the peoples with his faithfulness.+
