Psalm 96

 ¹ Sing to the LORD a new song;

   sing to the LORD, all the earth.

² Sing to the LORD, praise his name;

   proclaim his salvation day after day.

³ Declare his glory among the nations,

   his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

⁴ For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise;

   he is to be feared above all gods.

⁵ For all the gods of the nations are idols,

   but the LORD made the heavens.

⁶ Splendor and majesty are before him;

   strength and glory are in his sanctuary.

 ⁷ Ascribe to the LORD, O families of nations,

   ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

⁸ Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name;

   bring an offering and come into his courts.

⁹ Worship the LORD in the splendor of his^[a] holiness;

   tremble before him, all the earth.

 ¹⁰ Say 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 rejoice, let the earth be glad;

   let the sea resound, and all that is in it;

 ¹² let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them.

Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy;

 ¹³ they will sing before the LORD, for he comes,

   he comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

   and the peoples in his truth.
