Psalm 96

New Coverdale Version

O sing unto the Lord a new song; * sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.

Sing unto the Lord and praise his Name; * tell of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his honor to the nations, * and his wonders to all peoples.

For the Lord is great, and highly to be praised; * he is more to be feared than all gods.

As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; * but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

Glory and majesty are before him; * power and honor are in his sanctuary.

Ascribe unto the Lord, O you families of the peoples, * ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.

Ascribe unto the Lord the honor due unto his Name; * bring offerings and come into his courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

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.”

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; * let the sea make a noise, and all that is therein.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it; * then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord.

For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth, * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
