Psalm 96 (Sing to the Lord and Praise His Name)
O sing to the Lord,
Sing Him a new song.
Sing to the Lord, all the earth,
O bless and praise His name.
Proclaim his salvation day after day.
Proclaim His glory among the nations,
His deeds among peoples.
For great is the Lord
And greatly to be praised.
He is to be feared above all gods.
The other gods are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
Honor and majesty surround Him,
Strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
(Refrain) O sing to the Lord,
Sing Him a new song.
Sing to the Lord a new song
and praise His name,
O praise His name!
Ascribe to the Lord, you families of nations
Ascribe to the Lord the strength and glory due His name.
Bring Him an offering and enter His courts.
O worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.
Let all the earth tremble before Him.
Say among the nations, “the Lord reigns!”
The world stand firmly and it cannot be shaken.
He will judge all people,
He will judge them fairly.
(Refrain)
Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice,
Let the sea and all within it shout His praise!
Let the fields and crops celebrate,
Let the trees of the forest sing for joy.
For the Lord is coming to judge the earth,
He will judge the world in righteousness,
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
For great is the Lord,
And greatly to be praised.
He is to be feared above all gods.
The other gods are idols,
But the Lord made the heavens.
Honor and majesty surround Him,
Strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.
(Refrain)
Tell the news of His salvation
Sing and praise His name!
Let the sea and all His creatures,
Sing and praise His name!
Let the fields and crops within them,
Sing and praise His name!
Let the trees of every forest,
Sing and praise His name!
All creation join the chorus,
Sing and praise His name!
Sing to the Lord a new song and praise His name,
O praise His name!
Sing a song to the Lord all the earth,
Praise His name, O praise His name!
