Psalm 96
Complete Jewish Bible
96 Sing to Adonai a new song!
Sing to Adonai, all the earth!
2 Sing to Adonai, bless his name!
Proclaim his victory day after day!
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his wonders among all peoples!
4 For Adonai is great, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared more than all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but Adonai made the heavens.
6 In his presence are honor and majesty;
in his sanctuary, strength and splendor.
7 Give Adonai his due, you families from the peoples;
give Adonai his due of glory and strength;
8 give Adonai the glory due to his name;
bring an offering, and enter his courtyards.
9 Worship Adonai in holy splendor;
tremble before him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, “Adonai is king!”
The world is firmly established, immovable.
He will judge the peoples fairly.
11 Let the heavens rejoice; let the earth be glad;
let the sea roar, and everything in it;
12 let the fields exult and all that is in them.
Then all the trees in the forest will sing
13 before Adonai, because he has come,
he has come to judge the earth;
he will judge the world rightly
and the peoples with his faithfulness.
Psalm 96
Hoffnung für Alle
Alle sollen es wissen: Der Herr allein ist König! (1. Chronik 16,23‒33)
96 Singt dem Herrn ein neues Lied,
singt dem Herrn, alle Bewohner der Erde!
2 Singt dem Herrn und preist seinen Namen!
Verkündet jeden Tag: »Gott ist ein Gott, der rettet!«
3 Erzählt den Völkern von seiner Hoheit!
Macht allen Menschen seine Wunder bekannt!
4 Denn groß ist der Herr! Jeder soll ihn rühmen!
Von allen Göttern soll man ihn allein fürchten.
5 Die Götter der Völker sind machtlose Figuren,
der Herr aber hat den Himmel geschaffen!
6 Majestät und Pracht gehen von ihm aus,
seine Stärke und Schönheit erfüllen den Tempel.
7 Gebt dem Herrn, was ihm gebührt;
ihr Völker, erkennt seine Ehre und Macht!
8 Preist seinen großen Namen, kommt zu seinem Heiligtum,
und bringt ihm eure Opfer dar!
9 Werft euch vor ihm nieder in seiner herrlichen Pracht![a]
Die ganze Welt soll vor ihm erzittern!
10 Sagt den Völkern: »Der Herr ist König!«
Er hat die Fundamente der Erde gelegt, niemals gerät sie ins Wanken.
Allen Völkern wird er ein gerechter Richter sein!
11 Der Himmel soll sich freuen und die Erde in Jubel ausbrechen!
Das Meer mit allem, was in ihm lebt,
soll zu seiner Ehre brausen und tosen!
12 Der Acker sei fröhlich mit allem, was auf ihm wächst!
Auch die Bäume im Wald sollen jubeln,
13 wenn der Herr kommt.
Ja, er kommt, um die Welt zu richten.
Sein Urteil über die Völker ist unbestechlich und gerecht.

Psalm 96
King James Version
96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew 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 O 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.
