Psalm 96, Sing a New Song to the Lord:
1 Sing to Adonai a new song! Sing to Adonai, all the earth.
2 Sing to Adonai, bless His Name. Proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day.
3 Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
4 For great is Adonai, and greatly to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Adonai made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before Him. Strength and beauty are in His Sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to Adonai, O families of peoples. Ascribe to Adonai glory and strength.
8 Ascribe to Adonai the glory of His Name. Bring an offering and come into His courts.
9 Bow down to Adonai in holy splendor. Tremble before Him, all the earth.
10 Say among the nations: “Adonai reigns!” The world is firmly established—it will not move. He will judge the peoples with fairness.
11 Let the heavens be glad, let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar—and all that fills it.
12 Let the land exult—and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy—
13 before Adonai, for He is coming! For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
Psalm 96 – Tree of Life Version
This is one on my favorite Psalms. Can you imagine the trees of the forest singing for joy at the coming of the LORD? Psalm 96 is very similar to Psalm 98 where we read that even the water clap their hands and the hills will be joyful together at the coming of the Lord.
See also Psalm 148:1-3
Praise the LORD! Praise the LORD from the heavens; Praise Him in the heights!
Praise Him, all His angels; Praise Him, all His hosts!
Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light!
Creation exults the Lord for He is the Lord of all Creation.
