Psalm 96:1-13

« Psalm 95Psalm 96Psalm 97 »

Ascribe to Yahweh Glory and Strength

^aSing to Yahweh a ^bnew song;

Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

Sing to Yahweh, bless His name;

^aProclaim good news of His salvation from day to day.

Recount ^aHis glory among the nations,

His wondrous deeds among all the peoples.

For ^agreat is Yahweh and ^bgreatly to be praised;

He is ¹more ²^cfearsome ^dthan all gods.

For ^aall the gods of the peoples are ¹idols,

But ^bYahweh made the heavens.

^aSplendor and majesty are before Him,

Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

¹Ascribe to Yahweh, O ^afamilies of the peoples,

¹^bAscribe to Yahweh glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh the ^aglory of His name;

Lift up ¹an ^boffering and come into His courts.

^aWorship Yahweh in the splendor of holiness;

^bTremble before Him, all the earth.

Say among the nations, “^aYahweh ¹reigns;

Indeed, the ^aworld is established, it will not be shaken;

He will ^brender justice to the peoples with ²equity.”

Let the ^aheavens be glad, and let the ^bearth rejoice;

Let ^cthe sea ¹roar, as well as its fullness;

Let the ^afield exult, and all that is in it.

Then all the ^btrees of the forest will sing for joy

Before Yahweh, ^afor He is coming,

For He is coming to judge the earth.

^bHe will judge the world in righteousness

And the peoples in His faithfulness.

Psalm 97:1-12

« Psalm 96Psalm 97Psalm 98 »

Remember His Holy Name

^aYahweh ¹reigns, let the ^bearth rejoice;

Let the many ^ccoastlands be glad.

^aClouds and thick darkness are all around Him;

^bRighteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.

^aFire goes before Him

And ^bburns up His adversaries all around.

His ^alightnings light up the world;

The earth sees and ^btrembles.

The mountains ^amelt like wax at the presence of Yahweh,

At the presence of the ^bLord of all the earth.

The ^aheavens declare His righteousness,

And ^ball the peoples see His glory.

Let all those be ashamed who serve ^agraven images,

Who boast of ^bidols;

¹^cWorship Him, all you ²gods!

Zion ¹heard this and ^awas glad,

And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced

Because of Your judgments, O Yahweh.

For You are Yahweh ^aMost High over all the earth;

You are exalted far ^babove all ¹gods.

^aHate evil, you who love Yahweh,

Who ^bkeeps the souls of His holy ones;

He ^cdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.

^aLight is sown for the righteous

And ^bgladness for the upright in heart.

Be ^aglad in Yahweh, you righteous ones,

And ^bgive thanks for the remembrance of ¹His holy name.
