Psalm 96
Cantate Domino
1
O sing unto the Lord a new song; *
sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.
2
Sing unto the Lord and praise his Name; *
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3
Declare his honor to the nations, *
and his wonders to all peoples.
4
For the Lord is great, and highly 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
Glory and majesty are before him; *
power and honor are in his sanctuary.
7
Ascribe unto the Lord, O you families of the peoples, *
ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.
8
Ascribe unto the Lord the honor due unto his Name; *
bring offerings and come into his courts.
9
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *
let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
10
Tell it out among the nations, “The Lord is King; *
it is he who has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the peoples righteously.”
11
Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; *
let the sea make a noise, and all that is therein.
12
Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; *
then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord.
13
For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth, *
and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
