102) Psalm 96
8.6.8.6 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.
