[96:1] Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing to the Lord, all the world!
[96:2] Sing to the Lord, and praise him! Proclaim every day the good news that he has saved us.
[96:3] Proclaim his glory to the nations, his mighty deeds to all peoples.
[96:4] The Lord is great and is to be highly praised; he is to be honored more than all the gods.
[96:5] The gods of all other nations are only idols, but the Lord created the heavens.
[96:6] Glory and majesty surround him; power and beauty fill his Temple.
[96:7] Praise the Lord, all people on earth; praise his glory and might.
[96:8] Praise the Lord's glorious name; bring an offering and come into his Temple.
[96:9] Bow down before the Holy One when he appears; tremble before him, all the earth!
[96:10] Say to all the nations, “The Lord is king! The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with justice.”
[96:11] Be glad, earth and sky! Roar, sea, and every creature in you;
[96:12] be glad, fields, and everything in you! The trees in the woods will shout for joy
[96:13] when the Lord comes to rule the earth. He will rule the peoples of the world with justice and fairness.
