Psalms 96:4-13 ▼

4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised; he is awesome above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are before him; might and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength!

8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name, bring an offering and enter his courts!

9 Worship the LORD in holy splendor; tremble before him, all the earth.

10 Declare among the nations, |The LORD reigns!| Indeed, he established the world so that it will not falter. He will judge people fairly.

11 The heavens will be glad and the earth will rejoice; even the sea and everything that fills it will roar.

12 The field and all that is in it will rejoice; then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13 in the LORD's presence, because he is coming; indeed, he will come to judge the earth. He will judge the world fairly and its people reliably.
