Psalm 96 Cantate Domino
1 Sing to the LORD a new song; *
sing to the LORD, all the whole earth.
2 Sing to the LORD and bless her Name; *
proclaim the good news of her salvation from day to day.
3 Declare her glory a-mong the na-tions *
and her wonders a-mong all peo-ples.
4 For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; *
she is more to be feared than all gods.
5 As for all the gods of the nations, they are but i-dols; *
but it is the LORD who made the hea-vens.
6 Oh, the majesty and magnificence of her pre-sence! *
Oh, the power and the splendor of her sanc-tu-a-ry!
7 Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peo-ples; *
ascribe to the LORD ho-nor and po-wer.
8 Ascribe to the LORD the honor due her Name; *
bring offerings and come in-to her courts.
9 Worship the LORD in the beau-ty of ho-liness; *
let the whole earth trem-ble be-fore her.
10 Tell it out among the nations: “The LORD is King! *
she has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; she will judge the peo-ples with e-quity.”
11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *
let the field be joyful and all that is there-in.
12 Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy
before the LORD when she comes, *
when she comes to judge the earth.
13 She will judge the world with right-eousness *
and the peoples with her truth.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Ho-ly Spir-it: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ev-er. A-men.
