# Psalms 96

*An exhortation to praise God.*

**1** Oil sing unto the Lord a new song; sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
**2** Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; show forth his salvation from day to day.
**3** Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
**4** For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods.
**5** For all the gods of the nations are idols; but the Lord made the heavens.
**6** Honour and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
**7** Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.
**8** Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name; bring an offering, and come into his courts.
**9** Oh worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; fear before him, all the earth.
**10** Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth; the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved; he shall judge the people righteously.
**11** Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.
**12** Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
**13** Before the Lord; for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
