Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 96

Sing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord and praise His name;
proclaim His goodness each day.

Declare His glory among the people,
His wondrous deeds throughout all time.

For the Lord is great and worthy of all praise;
far above all that is called divine.

For the gods of the nations are empty,
but the Lord made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty shine before Him,
strength and beauty fill His presence.

Give to the Lord, O families of the earth,
give Him honor and praise!

Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
bring an offering and enter His courts.

Worship the Lord in holiness,
stand in awe before Him, all the earth.

Say among the people:
“The Lord reigns!

The world is established in His care;
it cannot be shaken.

He will judge with fairness and truth.”

Let the heavens rejoice, 
let the earth be glad,
let the sea and all within it 
resound with praise!

Let the fields be jubilant, 
and all that grows within them;
let the trees of the forest sing for joy!

For the Lord comes—
He comes to rule with love and justice.

He will guide the world in righteousness,
and all people in His faithfulness.
