The Psalms 96

A Song of Praise

1 Chr. 16.23-33

O sing unto the LORD a new song:

sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

Sing unto the LORD, bless his name;

show forth his salvation from day to day.

Declare his glory among the heathen,

his wonders among all people.

For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised:

he is to be feared above all gods.

For all the gods of the nations are idols:

but the LORD made the heavens.

Honor and majesty are before him:

strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people,

give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name:

bring an offering, and come into his courts.

O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: Ps. 29.1, 2

fear before him, all the earth.

Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth:

the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

he shall judge the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;

let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

before the LORD: for he cometh,

for he cometh to judge the earth:

he shall judge the world with righteousness,

and the people with his truth.
