Psalms 96:1-13 MSG
[1-2a] Sing God a brand-new song! Earth and everyone in it, sing! Sing to God—worship God! [2b-3] Shout the news of his victory from sea to sea, Take the news of his glory to the lost, News of his wonders to one and all! [4-5a] For God is great, and worth a thousand Hallelujahs. His furious beauty puts the other gods to shame; Pagan gods are mere tatters and rags. [5b-6] God made the heavens— Royal splendor radiates from him, A powerful beauty sets him apart. [7] Bravo, God, Bravo! Everyone join in the great shout: Encore! In awe before the beauty, in awe before the might. [8-9] Bring gifts and celebrate, Bow before the beauty of God, Then to your knees—everyone worship! [10] Get out the message—God Rules! He put the world on a firm foundation; He treats everyone fair and square. [11] Let’s hear it from Sky, With Earth joining in, And a huge round of applause from Sea. [12] Let Wilderness turn cartwheels, Animals, come dance, Put every tree of the forest in the choir— [13] An extravaganza before God as he comes, As he comes to set everything right on earth, Set everything right, treat everyone fair.
