Psalm 96
Cantate Domino
1
Sing to the Lord a new song; *
sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.
2
Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *
proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.
3
Declare his glory among the nations *
and his wonders among all peoples.
4
For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *
he is more to be feared than all gods.
5
As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *
but it is the Lord who made the heavens.
6
Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *
Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!
7
Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *
ascribe to the Lord honor and power.
8
Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *
bring offerings and come into his courts.
9
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *
let the whole earth tremble before him.
10
Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *
he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved;
he will judge the peoples with equity.”
11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *
let the field be joyful and all that is therein.
12
Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy
before the Lord when he comes, *
when he comes to judge the earth.
13
He will judge the world with righteousness *
and the peoples with his truth.
Psalm 100
Jubilate Deo
1
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
2
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
3
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
4
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
