Psalm 96

Sing to the LORD, All the Earth

(1 Chronicles 16:23–36)

¹ Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

² Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

³ Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

⁴ For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

⁶ Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

⁷ Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

⁸ Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering and enter His courts.

⁹ Worship the LORD in the splendor of His holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

¹⁰ Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

¹¹ Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

¹² Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

¹³ before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
