American Standard Version (1901)

Psalms 96

1A call to worship Jehovah the Righteous Judge.

Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song:Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.2Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name;Show forth his salvation from day to day.3Declare his glory among the nations,His marvellous works among all the peoples.4For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised:He is to be feared above all gods.5For all the gods of the peoples are 1idols;But Jehovah made the heavens.6Honor and majesty are before him:Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.7Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples,Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.8Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name:Bring an offering, and come into his courts.9Oh worship Jehovah 2in holy array:Tremble before him, all the earth.10Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth:The world also is established that it cannot be moved:He will judge the peoples with equity.11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;12Let the field exult, and all that is therein;Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy13Before Jehovah; for he cometh,For he cometh to judge the earth:He will judge the world with righteousness,And the peoples 3with his truth.
