P102. Psalm 96: O sing a new song to the Lord

1 O sing a new song to the Lord:
sing all the earth to God.
2 To God sing, bless his name, shew still
his saving health abroad.

3 Among the heathen nations
his glory do declare;
And unto all the people shew
his works that wondrous are.

4 For great’s the Lord, and greatly he
is to be magnify’d;
Yea, worthy to be fear’d is he
above all gods beside.

5 For all the gods are idols dumb,
which blinded nations fear;
But our God is the Lord, by whom
the heav’ns created were.

6 Great honour is before his face,
and majesty divine;
Strength is within his holy place,
and there doth beauty shine.

7 Do ye ascribe unto the Lord,
of people ev’ry tribe,
Glory do ye unto the Lord,
and mighty pow’r ascribe.

8 Give ye the glory to the Lord
that to his name is due;
Come ye into his courts, and bring
an offering with you.

9 In beauty of his holiness,
O do the Lord adore;
Likewise let all the earth throughout
tremble his face before.

10 Among the heathen say, God reigns;
the world shall stedfastly
Be fix’d from moving; he shall judge
the people righteously.

11 Let heav’ns be glad before the Lord,
and let the earth rejoice;
Let seas, and all that is therein,
cry out, and make a noise.

12 Let fields rejoice, and ev’ry thing
that springeth of the earth:
Then woods and ev’ry tree shall sing
with gladness and with mirth

13 Before the Lord; because he comes,
to judge the earth comes he:
He’ll judge the world with righteousness,
the people faithfully.
