Psalm 096

1    O sing a new song to the Lord:

          sing all the earth to God.

2    To God sing, bless his name, shew still

          his saving health abroad.

3    Among the heathen nations

          his glory do declare;

     And unto all the people shew

          his works that wondrous are.

4    For great’s the Lord, and greatly he

          is to be magnify’d;

     Yea, worthy to be fear’d is he

          above all gods beside.

5    For all the gods are idols dumb,

          which blinded nations fear;

     But our God is the Lord, by whom

          the heav’ns created were.

6    Great honour is before his face,

          and majesty divine;

     Strength is within his holy place,

          and there doth beauty shine.

7    Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,

          of people ev’ry tribe,

     Glory do ye unto the Lord,

          and mighty pow’r ascribe.

8    Give ye the glory to the Lord

          that to his name is due;

     Come ye into his courts, and bring

          an offering with you.

9    In beauty of his holiness,

          O do the Lord adore;

     Likewise let all the earth throughout

          tremble his face before.

10   Among the heathen say, God reigns;

          the world shall stedfastly

     Be fix’d from moving; he shall judge

          the people righteously.

11   Let heav’ns be glad before the Lord,

          and let the earth rejoice;

     Let seas, and all that is therein,

          cry out, and make a noise.

12   Let fields rejoice, and ev’ry thing

          that springeth of the earth:

     Then woods and ev’ry tree shall sing

          with gladness and with mirth

13   Before the Lord; because he comes,

          to judge the earth comes he:

     He’ll judge the world with righteousness,

          the people faithfully.
