Psalm 96 - Sing to the LORD a New Song
All creation, sea, field, and trees, is called to rejoice before the King.
Continuing the worship theme from Psalms 95, Psalm 96 broadens its call to 'all the earth,' urging that God's glory be declared 'among the heathen, his wonders among all people.'
O sing unto HaShem a new song; sing unto HaShem, all the earth.
Sing unto HaShem, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
For great is HaShem, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but HaShem made the heavens.
Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.
Ascribe unto HaShem, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto HaShem glory and strength.
Ascribe unto HaShem the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.
O worship HaShem in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations: 'The HaShem reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;
Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;
Before HaShem, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
