Psalm 96
*********
Come, sing a new song unto the LORD, all the earth
Bless His name, praise Him, and give Him His worth
Proclaim the good news of His salvation daily
Voices and instruments, bold, strong, and free
Declare His glory among the nations, and too
His wonders among all people anew
For the LORD is great, and He greatly to be praised
Let praise, worship, thanksgiving be upraised
He is to be feared above all gods, for they
Are nothing more than idols in their day
But the LORD the earth and heavens He created
Spoke them into being, each word He said
Before Him there be honour and too majesty
Strength and beauty there in His sanctuary
Give to the LORD glory and strength, all you people
Bring Him offering, on Him humbly call
Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness
Fear before Him all the earth, and confess
That He reigns over all, the world is established
His judgements righteous be, just as He wished
Let heaven rejoice, earth, all creation be glad
Seas, fields, and woods now no longer be sad
For the LORD comes to judge the world with righteousness
And the people with His truth sure, no less
Come, sing a new song unto the LORD, all the earth
Bless His name, praise Him, and give Him His worth
Proclaim the good news of His salvation daily
Voices and instruments, bold, strong, and free
