Psalms 96
Ascribe to Yahweh Glory and Strength
1 (C1)Sing to Yahweh a (C2)new song;
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
2 Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;
(C1)Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.
3 Recount (C1)His glory among the nations,
His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.
4 For (C1)great is Yahweh and (C2)greatly to be praised;
He is (F1)more (F2)(C3)fearsome (C4)than all gods.
5 For (C1)all the gods of the peoples are (F1)idols,
But (C2)Yahweh made the heavens.
6 (C1)Splendor and majesty are before Him,
Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
7 (F1)Ascribe to Yahweh, O (C1)families of the peoples,
(F1)(C2)Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to Yahweh the (C1)glory of His name;
Lift up (F1)an (C2)offering and come into His courts.
9 (C1)Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness;
(C2)Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations, "(C1)Yahweh (F1)reigns;
Indeed, the (C1)world is established, it will not be shaken;
He will (C2)render justice to the peoples with (F2)equity."
11 Let the (C1)heavens be glad, and let the (C2)earth rejoice;
Let (C3)the sea (F1)roar, as well as its fullness;
12 Let the (C1)field exult, and all that is in it.
Then all the (C2)trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 Before Yahweh, (C1)for He is coming,
For He is coming to judge the earth.
(C2)He will judge the world in righteousness
And the peoples in His faithfulness.
