96 Sing ye a new song to the Lord; all (the) earth, sing ye to the Lord.

Sing ye to the Lord, and bless ye his name; tell ye his health from day into day (tell ye about his salvation, or his deliverance, yea, his saving grace, from day unto day).

Tell ye his glory among heathen men; his marvels among all peoples. (Tell ye of his glory to the heathen; and of his marvellous deeds to all the nations.)

For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; he is fearedful above all gods (he should be feared above all gods/he should be revered above all gods).

For all the gods of heathen men be fiends; but the Lord made heavens. (For all the gods of the heathen be but idols; but the Lord made the heavens.)

Acknowledging and fairness is in his sight; holiness and worthy doing is in his hallowing. (Majesty and glory surround him; strength and beauty be in his sanctuary.)

Ye countries of heathen men, bring to the Lord, bring ye glory and honour to the Lord; (Ye countries of the heathen, acknowledge to the Lord, acknowledge ye the glory and the strength of the Lord;)

bring ye to the Lord glory to his name. Take ye sacrifices, and enter ye into the halls of him; (give ye to the Lord the glory due his name. Bring ye your sacrifices, and enter ye into his courtyards;)

praise ye the Lord in his holy hall. All earth be moved of his face; (praise ye the Lord in the beauty of his holiness. All the earth tremble before him/All the earth dance before him;)

10 say ye among heathen men, that the Lord hath reigned. And he hath amended the world, that shall not be moved; he shall deem peoples in equity. (say ye among the heathen, that the Lord reigneth. And that he hath set the world firmly in place, so that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the nations with justice.)

11 Heavens be glad, and the earth make full out joy, the sea and the fullness thereof be moved (al)together; (Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice, let the sea roar, and all the creatures in it;)

12 fields shall make joy, and all things that be in those. Then all the trees of woods shall make full out joy, (let the fields make joy, and all the things that be in them. And let all the trees of the woods rejoice,)

13 for the face of the Lord, for he cometh; for he cometh to deem the earth. He shall deem the world in equity; and peoples in his truth. (before the Lord, for he cometh; yea, he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with righteousness, or with justice; and all the peoples with fairness, or in good faith.)

  1. Psalm 96:9 Or Lord with the splendor of

105 Alleluia. Acknowledge ye to the Lord, and inwardly call ye his name; tell ye his works among heathen men. (Alleluia. Give ye thanks to the Lord, and call ye on his name; tell ye about his works among the heathen.) [a]

Sing ye to him, and say ye psalm to him, and tell ye all his marvels (and tell ye of all his marvellous deeds);

be ye praised in his holy name. The heart of men seeking the Lord be glad; (glory ye in his holy name. Let the hearts of the people seeking the Lord be glad;)

seek ye the Lord, and be ye confirmed; seek ye ever[more] his face. (seek ye the Lord, who is your strength; seek ye his face forevermore.)

Have ye mind on his marvels, which he did; on his great wonders, and dooms of his mouth. (Remember the marvellous deeds, which he hath done; and the judgements, which came forth from his mouth.)

The seed of Abraham, his servant; the sons of Jacob, his chosen man. (Ye descendants of his servant Abraham; ye children of his chosen man Jacob.)

He is our Lord God; his dooms be in all the earth. (He is the Lord our God; his judgements be for all the earth.)

He was mindful of his testament into the world; of the word which he commanded into a thousand generations. (He shall remember his covenant forever; yea, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.)

Which he disposed to Abraham; and of his oath to Isaac. (The covenant which he made with Abraham; and his oath to Isaac.)

10 And he ordained it to Jacob into a commandment; and to Israel into everlasting testament. (And he ordained it to Jacob for a law; yea, to Israel for an everlasting covenant.)

11 And he said, I shall give to thee the land of Canaan; the cord of your heritage (yea, your possession, your inheritance).

12 When they were in a little number; and the comelings of them were full few. (When they were little in number; yea, very few, and newcomers, or strangers, in that land.)

13 And they passed from folk into folk; and from a realm into another people. (And they went from one nation to another; and from one kingdom to another.)

14 He left not a man to annoy them; and he chastised kings for them. (He did not let anyone harm them; and he admonished, or warned, kings about them.)

15 (Saying,) Do not ye touch my christs; and do not ye do wickedly among my prophets. (Saying, Do not ye touch my anointed servants; and do not ye harm my prophets.)

16 And God called hunger on earth (And God called for hunger, or a famine, on the earth); and he wasted all the steadfastness of bread.

17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold into a servant (Joseph was sold as a slave).

18 They made low his feet in fetters, iron passed by his soul; (They put his feet in fetters, and an iron collar around his neck;)

19 till the word of him came. The speech of the Lord enflamed him; (until the word of the Lord came as predicted. The word of the Lord proved him right;)

20 the king sent and unbound him; the prince of peoples sent and delivered him. (then the king sent and unbound him; yea, the ruler of the nations sent word, and set him free.)

21 He ordained him lord of his house; and prince of all his possession. (He ordained him lord of his house; and the ruler of all his possessions.)

22 That he should learn his princes as himself (And that he should teach his leaders, or his officials, as he desired); and that he should teach his eld men prudence.

23 And Israel entered into Egypt; and Jacob was a comeling in the land of Ham. (And then Jacob, or Israel, came down to Egypt; and he was a newcomer, or a stranger, in the land of Ham.)

24 And God increased his people greatly; and made them steadfast on his enemies. (And God greatly increased his people; and he made them stronger than their enemies.)

25 He turned the heart of them, that they hated his people; and did guile against his servants. (And then he turned the hearts of their enemies, so that they hated his people; and they were deceitful with his servants.)

26 He sent Moses, his servant; [and] that Aaron, whom he chose.

27 He putted in them (to tell and to do) the words of his miracles; and of his great wonders in the land of Ham. (And they told of his miracles beforehand; and then they performed his great wonders in the land of Egypt.)

28 He sent darknesses, and made (it) dark; and he made not bitter his words. (He sent darkness, and all the land was made dark; but still the Egyptians resisted his commands.)

29 He turned the waters of them into blood; and he killed the fishes of them.

30 And the land of them gave paddocks; in the privy places of the kings of them. (And their land brought forth frogs; even the king’s private rooms were filled with them.)

31 God said, and a flesh fly came; and gnats in all the coasts of them. (And God spoke, and then swarms of flies came; and gnats as well, in all their coasts.)

32 He setted their rains (into) hail; (and) fire burning in the land of them.

33 And he smote the vines of them, and the fig trees of them; and all-brake the trees of the coasts of them.

34 He said, and the locust(s) came; and a bruchus of which (there) was no number (and innumerable bruchi).

35 And it ate all the hay in the land of them; and it ate all the fruit of the land of them. (And they ate all the plants in their land; and they ate all the fruit of their land.)

36 And he killed each the first engendered thing in the land of them (And he killed all their first-born in their land); the first fruits of all the travail of them.

37 And he led out them with silver and gold; and none was sick in the lineages of them. (And he led them out with silver and gold; and no one was weak, or feeble, in all their tribes.)

38 Egypt was glad in the going out of them; for the dread of them lay on Egyptians. (The Egyptians were glad that they left; for the Egyptians feared them.)

39 He spreaded abroad a cloud, into the covering of them (for their covering); and (a) fire, that it shined to them by night.

40 They asked, and a curlew came; and he [ful]filled them with the bread of heaven. (They asked for food, and the curlews came; and then he fulfilled them with bread, or manna, from heaven.)

41 He brake the stone, and waters flowed; floods went forth in the dry place. (He broke open a rock, and waters flowed out; yea, a river went forth there in the desert, or in the wilderness.)

42 For he was mindful of his holy word; which he had (said) to Abraham, his servant. (For he remembered his solemn promise; which he had made to his servant Abraham.)

43 And he led out his people in full out joying; and his chosen men in gladness. (And so he led out his people rejoicing; and his chosen in gladness.)

44 And he gave to them the countries of heathen men; and they had in possession the travails of (other) peoples. (And he gave them the countries of the heathen; and they had in possession what other peoples had toiled for, or had worked so hard for.)

45 That they keep his justifyings; and keep his law. (So that they would obey his statutes; and obey his laws.)

39 He spread out a cloud(BL) as a covering,
    and a fire to give light at night.(BM)
40 They asked,(BN) and he brought them quail;(BO)
    he fed them well with the bread of heaven.(BP)
41 He opened the rock,(BQ) and water gushed out;
    it flowed like a river in the desert.

42 For he remembered his holy promise(BR)
    given to his servant Abraham.
43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,(BS)
    his chosen ones with shouts of joy;
44 he gave them the lands of the nations,(BT)
    and they fell heir to what others had toiled(BU) for—
45 that they might keep his precepts

  1. Psalm 105:45 Hebrew Hallelu Yah

In that day, David made Asaph prince, and his brethren, for to acknowledge to the Lord. (On that day, David first ordained Asaph, and his kinsmen, to give praise and thanks to the Lord, and to proclaim to the people, saying,)

Acknowledge ye to the Lord, and inwardly call ye (on) his name; make ye his findings known among peoples. (Give ye thanks to the Lord, and call ye on his name; make ye his deeds known among the peoples.)

Sing ye to him, and say ye psalm to him, and tell ye all his marvels (and tell ye of all his marvellous deeds).

10 Praise ye his holy name; the heart of men seeking the Lord be glad (let the hearts of those seeking the Lord be glad).

11 Seek ye the Lord and his strength; seek ye ever[more] his face (seek ye his face forevermore).

12 Have ye mind of his marvels that he hath done; of his signs, and of the dooms of his mouth. (Remember the marvels that he hath done; his signs, and the judgements from his mouth.)

13 The seed of Israel, his servant, praise thou God; the sons of Jacob, his chosen, praise ye God. (Let the descendants of his servant Israel, praise ye God; let the children of Jacob, his chosen, praise ye God.)

14 He is the Lord our God; his dooms be in each land (let his judgements be in every land).

15 Have ye mind without end of his covenant; of the word which he covenanted into a thousand generations. (Remember his covenant forevermore; yea, the word which he covenanted to a thousand generations.)

16 Which word he covenanted with Abraham; and of his oath to Isaac.

17 And he ordained that word to Jacob into a commandment; and to Israel into (an) everlasting covenant. (And he ordained that word to Jacob for a commandment; and to Israel for an everlasting covenant.)

18 And he said, To thee I shall give the land of Canaan; the part of your heritage (the portion of your inheritance).

19 When they were few in number; little, and pilgrims thereof (yea, only a few, and strangers there).

20 And they passed from folk into folk; and from a realm to another people. (And they went from nation to nation; and from one kingdom to another.)

21 He suffered not any man (to) falsely challenge them; but he blamed kings for them. (He did not allow anyone to oppress them; and he admonished kings for them.)

22 (And he said,) Do not ye touch my christs, that is, (the) patriarchs anointed with the anointing of grace; and do not ye do wickedly against my prophets.

23 All [the] earth, sing ye to the Lord; tell ye from day into day his health (tell ye of his victory day after day/tell ye of his salvation, or his deliverance, day after day).

24 Tell ye among heathen men his glory (Tell ye of his glory among the heathen); his marvels among all peoples.

25 For the Lord is great, and worthy to be praised full much; and he is horrible, that is, fearful, over all gods. (For the Lord is great, and worthy to be greatly praised; and he it is who should be feared/and it is he who should be revered, more than all the gods.)

26 For all the gods of (the) peoples be (but) idols; but the Lord made (the) heavens.

27 Acknowledging and great doing be before him; strength and joy be in the place of him. (Acknowledgement and great accomplishment, that is, honour and glory, be before him; strength and joy be in his dwelling.)

28 Ye families of peoples, bring ye to the Lord; bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.

29 Give ye the glory to his name, raise ye up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight; and worship ye the Lord in holy fairness. (Give ye the glory due to his name, raise ye up a sacrifice, and come ye before him; and worship ye the Lord in the beauty of holiness.)

30 All earth be moved from his face; for he hath founded the world unmoveable. (All the earth tremble before him; for he hath made the world immovable.)

31 (The) Heavens be glad, and the earth make full out joy; and say they among (the) nations, The Lord reign.

32 The sea thunder, and his fullness (Let the sea thunder, and all of its fullness); the fields fully joy they, and all things that be in those.

33 Then the trees of the forest shall praise before the Lord; for he cometh to deem the earth (for he cometh to judge the earth).

34 Acknowledge to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is without end. (Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his mercy is forevermore.)

35 And say ye, Thou God, our saviour, save us, and gather us together, and deliver us from heathen men; that we acknowledge to thine holy name, and be fully glad in thy songs. (And say ye, Thou God, our saviour, save us, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen; so that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and rejoice in thy songs, or in thy praise.)

36 Blessed be the Lord God of Israel from without beginning and into without end; and all the people say, Amen, and say praising to God.
