Psalm 96

Psalm 96 calls upon all nations of the earth to come and worship Yahweh. His mighty deeds have brought salvation and people everywhere are to worship him in the splendor of his righteousness. He rules the world with equity bringing joy to all. The psalm speaks of eschatological rule as well as his current reign over his people.

​Sing a new song to the Lord, O earth
Praise his holy name;
Proclaim to all the good news that he saves
His deeds have brought him fame.
 
Great is the Lord and worthy of praise
Other gods are unreal;
Splendor and majesty surround his throne
Before him all others kneel.
 
Give praise to the Lord all you nations on earth
Bring offerings to sacrifice;
Worship the Lord in holy attire
His presence, paradise.
 
Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad
May the nations sing for joy;
Let creation rejoice when God comes to rule
With fairness for all to enjoy
