Psalm 96:1-9

Contemporary English Version

Sing a New Song to the Lord

¹Sing a new song to the Lord!
Everyone on this earth,
sing praises to the Lord,
² sing and praise his name.

Day after day announce,
    “The Lord has saved us!”
³Tell every nation on earth,
“The Lord is wonderful
    and does marvelous things!
⁴The Lord is great and deserves
    our greatest praise!
He is the only God
    worthy of our worship.
⁵Other nations worship idols,
but the Lord created
    the heavens.
⁶Give honor and praise
    to the Lord,
whose power and beauty
    fill his holy temple.”

⁷^(A) Tell everyone of every nation,
“Praise the glorious power
    of the Lord.
⁸He is wonderful! Praise him
and bring an offering
    into his temple.
⁹Everyone on earth, now tremble
and worship the Lord,
    majestic and holy.”
