Psalm 96

Cantate Domino

1 O SING unto the Lord a new song * sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.

2 Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name * be telling of his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his honour unto the heathen * and his wonders unto all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised * he is more to be feared than all gods.

5 As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols * but it is the Lord that made the heavens.

6 Glory and worship are before him * power and honour are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people * ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.

8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name * bring presents, and come into his courts.

9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness * let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

10 Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King * and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; and how that he shall judge the people righteously.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad * let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it * then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord.

13 For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth * and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son * and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be * world without end. Amen.
