Psalm 96

¹ O sing a new song to the Lord:

sing all the earth to God.

² To God sing, bless his name, shew still

his saving health abroad.

³ Among the heathen nations

his glory do declare;

And unto all the people shew

his works that wondrous are.

⁴ For great’s the Lord, and greatly he

is to be magnify’d;

Yea, worthy to be fear’d is he

above all gods beside.

⁵ For all the gods are idols dumb,

which blinded nations fear;

But our God is the Lord, by whom

the heav’ns created were.

⁶ Great honour is before his face,

and majesty divine;

Strength is within his holy place,

and there doth beauty shine.

⁷ Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,

of people ev’ry tribe,

Glory do ye unto the Lord,

and mighty pow’r ascribe.

⁸ Give ye the glory to the Lord

that to his name is due;

Come ye into his courts, and bring

an offering with you.

⁹ In beauty of his holiness,

O do the Lord adore;

Likewise let all the earth throughout

tremble his face before.

¹⁰ Among the heathen say, God reigns;

the world shall stedfastly

Be fix’d from moving; he shall judge

the people righteously.

¹¹ Let heav’ns be glad before the Lord,

and let the earth rejoice;

Let seas, and all that is therein,

cry out, and make a noise.

¹² Let fields rejoice, and ev’ry thing

that springeth of the earth:

Then woods and ev’ry tree shall sing

with gladness and with mirth

¹³ Before the Lord; because he comes,

to judge the earth comes he:

He’ll judge the world with righteousness,

the people faithfully.
