Psalm 96
English Standard Version
Worship in the Splendor of Holiness
96 (A)Oh sing to the Lord (B)a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
(C)tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For (D)great is the Lord, and (E)greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above (F)all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord (G)made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
(H)strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O (I)families of the peoples,
(J)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord (K)the glory due his name;
bring (L)an offering, and (M)come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in (N)the splendor of holiness;[a]
(O)tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, (P)“The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
he will (Q)judge the peoples with equity.”
11 Let (R)the heavens be glad, and let (S)the earth rejoice;
let (T)the sea roar, and all that fills it;
12 let (U)the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all (V)the trees of the forest sing for joy
13 before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes (W)to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
and the peoples in his faithfulness.

Tehillim 96
Orthodox Jewish Bible
96 O sing unto Hashem a shir chadash; sing unto Hashem, kol ha’aretz.
2 Sing unto Hashem, barakhu Shmo, show forth His Yeshuah (salvation) from day to day.
3 Declare His kavod among the Goyim, His nifle’ot (marvelous deeds) among all peoples.
4 For Hashem is gadol, and me’od to be praised; He is to be feared above all elohim.
5 For kol elohei HaAmim are elilim (idols); but Hashem made Shomayim.
6 Hod and hadar are before Him; oz and tiferet are in His Mikdash.
7 Render unto Hashem, O ye mishpekhot of the nations, render unto Hashem kavod and oz.
8 Render unto Hashem the kavod due unto Shmo; bring a minchah, and come into His khatzerot (courtyards).
9 O worship Hashem in the hadrat Kodesh; fear before Him, kol ha’aretz.
10 Say among the Goyim that Hashem reigneth; the tevel also is established that it shall not be moved; He shall judge the Amim bemeysharim (in equity, in uprightness).
11 Let Shomayim rejoice, and let ha’aretz be glad; let the yam roar, and the fullness thereof.
12 Let the sadeh be jubilant, and all that is therein; then shall kol atzei ya’ar (all the trees of the forest) sing for joy
13 Before Hashem; for He cometh, for He cometh to judge ha’aretz; He shall judge tevel betzedek (world in righteousness), and Amim with His emunah (truth).
