Psalms 96

1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.

1O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

1Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song: Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth.

2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.

2Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

2Sing unto Jehovah, bless his name; Show forth his salvation from day to day.

3A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.

3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

3Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

4His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.

4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

4For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He is to be feared above all gods.

5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

5For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens.

6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.

6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

6Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:

7Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

7Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength.

8Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.

8Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

8Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

9Oh worship Jehovah in holy array: Tremble before him, all the earth.

10You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

10Say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved: He will judge the peoples with equity.

11Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

12Let the field exult, and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy

13(not in this translation)

13Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

13Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with his truth.
