Psalm 96

Oh, sing to God a new song; sing to God, all the earth.

Sing to God, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

For God is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is God who made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Ascribe to God, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to God for his glory and strength.

Give to God the glory that his name deserves. Bring an offering and come into his courts.

Bow down to God in the splendor of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “God reigns.” The world also is established; it cannot be shaken. He judges the peoples fairly.

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar and that which fills it shout with joy.

Let the fields rejoice and all that is in them. Then let all the trees in the forest shout for joy

before God, for he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with his faithfulness.
