A Song of Praise to God Coming in Judgment

1 Oh, ^asing to the Lord a new song!
Sing to the Lord, all the earth.

2 Sing to the Lord, bless His name;
Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.

3 Declare His glory among the¹ nations,
His wonders among all peoples.

4 For ^athe Lord is great and ^bgreatly to be praised;
^cHe is to be feared above all gods.

5 For ^aall the gods of the peoples are idols,
^bBut the Lord made the heavens.

6 Honor and majesty are before Him;
Strength and ^abeauty are in His sanctuary.

7 ^aGive¹ to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
Give to the Lord glory and strength.

8 ¹Give to the Lord the glory due His name;
Bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9 Oh, worship the Lord ^ain the beauty of holiness!
Tremble before Him, all the earth.

10 Say among the¹ nations, ^a“The Lord reigns;
The world also is firmly established,
It shall not be¹ moved;
^bHe shall judge the peoples righteously.”

11 ^aLet the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
^bLet the sea roar, and¹ all its fullness;

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it.
Then all the trees of the woods will rejoice before the Lord.

13 For He is coming, for He is coming to judge the earth.
^aHe shall judge the world with righteousness,
And the peoples with His truth.

Psalms 96:1-3

The substance of this Psalm, and portions of the ninety-seventh, ninety-eighth, and hundredth, are found in 1Ch. 16:7-36, which was used by David's directions in the dedication of the tabernacle on Mount Zion. The dispensation of the Messiah was typified by that event, involving, as it did, a more permanent seat of worship, and the introduction of additional and more spiritual services. Hence the language of these Psalms may be regarded as having a higher import than that pertinent to the occasion on which it was thus publicly used. (Psalms 96:1-13)

All nations are invited to unite in this most joyful praise.

new song—literally, "fresh," or new mercies (Psalms 33:3; Psalms 40:3).
