Psalm 96

²³Sing to the Lord, all the earth. Proclaim His salvation day after day.

²⁴Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

¹A Psalm. Sing to the Lord a new song, for He has done wonders; His right hand and holy arm have gained Him the victory.

¹Hallelujah! Sing to the Lord a new song—His praise in the assembly of the godly.

³And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. And no one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth.

³Sing to Him a new song; play skillfully with a shout of joy.

⁹And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹⁵And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.

¹⁵My mouth will declare Your righteousness and Your salvation all day long, though I cannot know their full measure.

¹Of David. Bless the Lord, O my soul; all that is within me, bless His holy name.

²Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all His kind deeds—

¹A Psalm of praise. Of David. I will exalt You, my God and King; I will bless Your name forever and ever.

¹⁰I have not covered up Your righteousness in my heart; I have declared Your faithfulness and salvation; I have not concealed Your loving devotion and faithfulness from the great assembly.

¹⁷May his name endure forever; may his name continue as long as the sun shines. In him may all nations be blessed; may they call him blessed.

¹⁸Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

¹King Nebuchadnezzar, To the people of every nation and language who dwell in all the earth: May your prosperity be multiplied.

²I am pleased to declare the signs and wonders that the Most High God has performed for me.

²⁷All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.

⁴⁷and in His name repentance and forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem.

²³In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria. The Assyrians will go to Egypt, and the Egyptians to Assyria. The Egyptians and Assyrians will worship together.

²⁴In that day Israel will join a three-party alliance with Egypt and Assyria—a blessing upon the earth.

⁶He says: “It is not enough for You to be My Servant, to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the protected ones of Israel. I will also make You a light for the nations, to bring My salvation to the ends of the earth.”

¹⁸Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, who alone does marvelous deeds.

¹⁹And blessed be His glorious name forever; may all the earth be filled with His glory. Amen and amen.

³Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; His greatness is unsearchable.

⁶There is none like You, O Lord. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.

⁷Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

⁴Who will not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before You, for Your righteous acts have been revealed.”

³I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.

³For the Lord is a great God, a great King above all gods.

³Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.

¹⁵May you be blessed by the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.

⁵This is what God the Lord says—He who created the heavens and stretched them out, who spread out the earth and its offspring, who gives breath to the people on it and life to those who walk in it:

⁴So about eating food sacrificed to idols: We know that an idol is nothing at all in the world, and that there is no God but one.

¹⁸Those who make them become like them, as do all who trust in them.

¹⁴Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.

¹⁵They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.

¹¹Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”

¹²The Lord made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

²So I have seen You in the sanctuary and beheld Your power and glory.

³Because Your loving devotion is better than life, my lips will glorify You.

²⁷Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and joy fill His dwelling.

¹The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

¹Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty.

³The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.

¹⁶For we did not follow cleverly devised fables when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of His majesty.

¹⁷For He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to Him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

¹After this I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude in heaven, shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God!

¹³And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

⁹And they sang a new song: “Worthy are You to take the scroll and open its seals, because You were slain, and by Your blood You purchased for God those from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.

¹¹Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the splendor and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth belongs to You. Yours, O Lord, is the kingdom, and You are exalted as head over all.

¹²Both riches and honor come from You, and You are the ruler over all. In Your hands are power and might to exalt and give strength to all.

²⁷All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord. All the families of the nations will bow down before Him.

¹²saying, “Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God forever and ever! Amen.”

⁴Enter His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with praise; give thanks to Him and bless His name.

¹Therefore I urge you, brothers, on account of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

⁵And the Lord descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the Lord.

⁶Then the Lord passed in front of Moses and called out: “The Lord, the Lord God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

¹⁵Through Jesus, therefore, let us continually offer to God a sacrifice of praise, the fruit of lips that confess His name.

¹⁶And do not neglect to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

³I will praise You, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing Your praises among the peoples.

⁴For Your loving devotion extends beyond the heavens, and Your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.

¹²The Daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; men of wealth will seek your favor.

²Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name; worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness.

⁷Tremble, O earth, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of the God of Jacob,

³Your people shall be willing on Your day of battle. Arrayed in holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, to You belongs the dew of Your youth.

⁸Let all the earth fear the Lord; let all the people of the world revere Him.

⁴⁵He will pitch his royal tents between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain, but he will meet his end with no one to help him.

²⁰His beautiful ornaments they transformed into pride and used them to fashion their vile images and detestable idols. Therefore I will make these into something unclean for them.

¹The Lord reigns! He is robed in majesty; the Lord has clothed and armed Himself with strength. The world indeed is firmly established; it cannot be moved.

⁴Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, for You judge the peoples justly and lead the nations of the earth. Selah

⁸He judges the world with justice; He governs the people with equity.

³¹For He has set a day when He will judge the world with justice by the Man He has appointed. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising Him from the dead.”

⁹before the Lord, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.

¹¹For My name will be great among the nations, from where the sun rises to where it sets. In every place, incense and pure offerings will be presented in My name, because My name will be great among the nations,” says the Lord of Hosts.

¹³Shout for joy, O heavens; rejoice, O earth; break forth in song, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and He will have compassion on His afflicted ones.

³⁴Let heaven and earth praise Him, the seas and everything that moves in them.

¹The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.

⁷Let the sea resound, and all that fills it, the world, and all who dwell in it.

⁸Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy

¹Hallelujah! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise Him in the highest places.

²Praise Him, all His angels; praise Him, all His heavenly hosts.

²³Sing for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.

¹²You will indeed go out with joy and be led forth in peace; the mountains and hills will burst into song before you, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands.

¹³Instead of the thornbush, the cypress will grow, and instead of the brier, the myrtle will spring up; this will make a name for the Lord, an everlasting sign, never to be destroyed.”

¹The wilderness and the dry land will be glad; the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.

¹⁰Sing to the Lord a new song—His praise from the ends of the earth—you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it, you islands, and all who dwell in them.

¹¹Let the desert and its cities raise their voices; let the villages of Kedar cry aloud. Let the people of Sela sing for joy; let them cry out from the mountaintops.

²³Sing for joy, O heavens, for the Lord has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth in song, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, and revealed His glory in Israel.

¹²The pastures of the wilderness overflow; the hills are robed with joy.

¹³The pastures are clothed with flocks, and the valleys are decked with grain. They shout in triumph; indeed, they sing.

¹¹Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war.

⁸From now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but to all who crave His appearing.

⁸He will swallow up death forever. The Lord God will wipe away the tears from every face and remove the disgrace of His people from the whole earth. For the Lord has spoken.

⁹And in that day it will be said, “Surely this is our God; we have waited for Him, and He has saved us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited. Let us rejoice and be glad in His salvation.”

¹⁶For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise.

¹⁷After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.

¹³as we await the blessed hope and glorious appearance of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ.

⁹before the Lord, for He comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with equity.
