Chapter 96

Exhortation to rejoice in praising God


1

Oh, sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2

Sing unto the Lord; bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.

3

Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4

For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.

5

For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.

6

Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7

Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people; give unto the Lord glory and strength.

8

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9

Oh, worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; fear before him, all the earth.

10

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.

11

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar and the fullness thereof.

12

Let the field be joyful and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice,

13

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.
