Psalms 96 in plain modern English. New Ground English Translation.

Sing to Yahweh a brand-new song! Sing to Yahweh, everyone on earth!

Sing to Yahweh, honor his name. Every single day, tell the story of his rescue.

Tell the nations about his radiance. Tell every people about the staggering things he's done.

Because Yahweh is immense — he deserves all the praise there is. He's the one to stand in awe of, far above every other god.

Because every god the nations worship? They're nothing — empty idols. But Yahweh? He made the sky itself.

Magnificence and majesty surround him. Raw power and beauty fill his sacred space.

Give Yahweh credit, you families of nations! Give Yahweh credit for his radiance and his strength!

Give Yahweh credit for the weight of who he is. Bring an offering and come into his presence.

Bow down to Yahweh dressed in the beauty of his set-apart presence. Tremble before him, everyone on earth!

Say it among the nations: "Yahweh reigns!" The world stands firm — it cannot be shaken. He will judge all peoples with complete fairness.

Let the sky celebrate and the earth be glad! Let the sea and everything in it thunder with joy!

Let the open fields burst with happiness — every living thing in them! Then every tree in the forest will shout for joy

before Yahweh, because he is coming. He is coming to set the world right. He will set the world right with justice and every people with his faithfulness.
