Psalm 96

Sing to God a new song! You people throughout the earth, sing to God!

Sing to God and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim to others that he has saved/rescued us.

Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous things that he has done.

God is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,

because all the gods that other people-groups worship are only idols, but God is truly great; he created the skies!

Those who are in his presence honor him and can see that he is a great king. They can see in his temple that he is very powerful and is very beautiful.

You people in nations all over the earth, praise God! Praise God for his glorious power [HEN]!

Praise God like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.

Bow down before God when he appears in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.

Say to all the people-groups, “God is the king! He put the world in its place, and nothing will ever be able to move/shake it. He will judge all the people-groups fairly.”

All the beings that are in [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all the people on the earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar to praise God.

The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, it will be as though all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully

in front of God. That will happen when he comes to judge everyone on [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to what he knows is true.
