Psalms 96
1 Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing!
2 Sing to God - worship God! Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
3 Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all!
4 For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs. His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
5 Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags. God made the heavens -
6 Royal splendor radiates from him, A powerful beauty sets him apart.
7 Bravo, God, Bravo! Everyone join in the great shout: Encore! In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might.
8 Bring gifts and celebrate,
9 Bow before the beauty of God, Then to your knees - everyone worship!
10 Get out the message - God Rules! He put the world on a firm foundation; He treats everyone fair and square.
11 Let's hear it from Sky, With Earth joining in, And a huge round of applause from Sea.
12 Let Wilderness turn cartwheels, Animals, come dance, Put every tree of the forest in the choir -
13 An extravaganza before God as he comes, As he comes to set everything right on earth, Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
