Psalm 96 - 97

« Psalm 95 | Psalms 96-97 | Psalm 98 »

Ascribe to Yahweh Glory and Strength

Sing to Yahweh a new song;

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;

Proclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.

Recount His glory among the nations,

His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.

For great is Yahweh and greatly to be praised;

He is more fearsome than all gods.

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,

But Yahweh made the heavens.

Splendor and majesty are before Him,

Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

Ascribe to Yahweh, O families of the peoples,

Ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh the glory of His name;

Lift up an offering and come into His courts.

Worship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness;

Tremble before Him, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns;

Indeed, the world is established, it will not be shaken;

He will render justice to the peoples with equity.”

Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;

Let the sea roar, as well as its fullness;

Let the field exult, and all that is in it.

Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

Before Yahweh, for He is coming,

For He is coming to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

And the peoples in His faithfulness.

Remember His Holy Name

Yahweh reigns, let the earth rejoice;

Let the many coastlands be glad.

Clouds and thick darkness are all around Him;

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

Fire goes before Him

And burns up His adversaries all around.

His lightnings light up the world;

The earth sees and trembles.

The mountains melt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,

At the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

The heavens declare His righteousness,

And all the peoples see His glory.

Let all those be ashamed who serve graven images,

Who boast of idols;

Worship Him, all you gods!

Zion heard this and was glad,

And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced

Because of Your judgments, O Yahweh.

For You are Yahweh Most High over all the earth;

You are exalted far above all gods.

Hate evil, you who love Yahweh,

Who keeps the souls of His holy ones;

He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

Light is sown for the righteous

And gladness for the upright in heart.

Be glad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,

And give thanks for the remembrance of His holy name.
