Psalms 96

The Call to Worship

The Call to Worship

1Oh sing unto Jehovah a new song : Sing unto Jehovah , all the earth. 2Sing unto Jehovah , bless his name ; Show forth his salvation from day to day . 3Declare his glory among the nations , His marvellous works among all the peoples .

Proclaiming God's Glory

4For great is Jehovah , and greatly to be praised : He is to be feared above all gods. 5For all the gods of the peoples are idols; But Jehovah made the heavens . 6Honor and majesty are before him : Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary .

The Sovereignty of God

7Ascribe unto Jehovah , ye kindreds of the peoples , Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength . 8Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name : Bring an offering , and come into his courts . 9Oh worship Jehovah in holy array : Tremble before him , all the earth. 10Say among the nations , Jehovah reigneth : The world also is established that it cannot be moved : He will judge the peoples with equity .

Creation's Response

11Let the heavens be glad , and let the earth rejoice ; Let the sea roar , and the fulness thereof; 12Let the field exult , and all that is therein; Then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy 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.
