A Song of Praise

961 Sing to the Lord a new song ; Sing to the Lord , all the earth . 2 Sing to the Lord , bless His name ; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day . 3 Tell of His glory among the nations , His wonderful deeds among all the peoples . 4 For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised ; He is to be feared above all gods . 5 For all the gods of the peoples are idols , But the Lord made the heavens . 6 Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and beauty are in His sanctuary . 7 Ascribe to the Lord , O families of the peoples , Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength . 8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name ; Bring an offering and come into His courts . 9 Worship the Lord in holy attire ; Tremble before e Him, all the earth .

10 Say among the nations , " The Lord reigns ; Indeed , the world is firmly established , it will not be moved ; He will judge the peoples with equity ." 11 Let the heavens be glad , and let the earth rejoice ; Let the sea roar , and all it contains ; 12 Let the field exult , and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy 13 Before the Lord , for He is coming , For He is coming to judge the earth . He will judge the world in righteousness And the peoples in His faithfulness .
