Psalms 96

MSG

NIV

1 Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing!
1 Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2 Sing to God - worship God! Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea,
2 Sing to the LORD, praise his name; proclaim his salvation day after day.
3 Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all!
3 Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs. His terrible beauty makes the gods look cheap;
4 For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods.
5 Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags. God made the heavens -
5 For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6 Royal splendor radiates from him, A powerful beauty sets him apart.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.
7 Bravo, God, Bravo! Everyone join in the great shout: Encore! In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might.
7 Ascribe to the LORD, all you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8 Bring gifts and celebrate,
8 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name; bring an offering and come into his courts.
9 Bow before the beauty of God, Then to your knees - everyone worship!
9 Worship the LORD in the splendor of his holiness; tremble before him, all the earth.
10 Get out the message - God Rules! He put the world on a firm foundation; He treats everyone fair and square.
10 Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is firmly established, it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let's hear it from Sky, With Earth joining in, And a huge round of applause from Sea.
11 Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad; let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
12 Let Wilderness turn cartwheels, Animals, come dance, Put every tree of the forest in the choir -
12 Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them; let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
13 An extravaganza before God as he comes, As he comes to set everything right on earth, Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
13 Let all creation rejoice before the LORD, for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in his faithfulness.
