6th Day Evening-Psalm 96

Psalm 96   Cantate Domino

 

1            Sing to the Lord a new song; *

        sing to the Lord, all the whole earth.

 

2            Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *

        proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.

 

3            Declare his glory among the nations *

        and his wonders among all peoples.

 

4            For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *

        he is more to be feared than all gods.

5            As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *

        but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

 

6            Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *

        Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!

 

7            Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *

        ascribe to the Lord honor and power.

 

8            Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *

        bring offerings and come into his courts.

 

9            Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *

        let the whole earth tremble before him.

 

10            Tell it out among the nations: “The Lord is King! *

        he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved;

        he will judge the peoples with equity.”

 

11            Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;

let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *

        let the field be joyful and all that is therein.

 

12            Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy

before the Lord when he comes, *

        when he comes to judge the earth.

 

13            He will judge the world with righteousness *

             and the peoples with his truth.
