Psalm 96 O Sing a New Song
Refrain:
O sing a new song to the Lord,
Sing to the Lord,
Sing all the earth.
1. O sing a new song to the Lord,
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
sing to God and praise the Name.
2. Proclaim God's salvation day by day,
tell of God's glory among the nations,
and God's marvels to all the people.
(Refrain)
3. The Lord is great and worthy of all praise,
to be feared more than all gods;
all other gods are merely idols.
4. For the Lord made the heavens!
O the splendor and majesty of God's presence!
O the power and beauty of God's temple.
(Refrain)
5. Let the heavens be glad, let the earth rejoice,
let the sea roar, and all its creatures;
be glad, you fields, and all your fruit.
6. Shout for joy, all trees of the woods,
at the presence of God, who now comes
to judge the earth with right and the people with truth.
(Refrain)
