Psalms 96:1-9 ▼

1 O sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth!

2 Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.

3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous works and wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are [worthless, lifeless] idols, But the LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before Him; Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courts.

9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; Tremble [in submissive wonder] before Him, all the earth.
