Singing Psalm 96

A new song sing to Yahweh, all the earth,

as well as all the peoples whom he made,

yes join the stars, wind, trees, each babe at birth,

and sing with joy & praise his name; proclaimed

not only our creator, but our save-

yah who redeems, he saves us day by day.  

Declare among the nations, let flags wave,

yeah shine his marvellous deeds. All peoples, (hey!)

you have become "his own", so now be known!

Creator's greater than all gods we've made,

most worthy of our praise; as can be shown

since ev'ry good we've known, has come, as bade

by him whose voice and word the waters stirred.

All other gods are nothing, next to him.

Just images of gods, who never heard,

or saw, or made, except to make light dim.

The source of light and majesty hang out

around him, strength and glory emanate.

Acknowledge who's the ‘Lord’ without a doubt,

all fam-il-ies of nations, get this straight!

Ascribe to God, the Lord, the glory due

to his name. Who'll afford an offering

and come into his presence (the one who

is truly splendid, and is profering

a holy unique-ness)? Tremble before

him, all the earth.  Among the nations, say:

‘The Lord reigns’, so the world is firm, and more -

it can't be moved; he’ll judge in ev'ry fray -

the peoples with an equity unmatched.  

Let others yet rejoice and too be glad!

The heavens & the earth will yet be hatched;

and let the sea resound, and all it's had.

The fields be jubilant, and all their horde;

let all the trees of forests sing for joy.  

Let all creation dance before the Lord,

for HE comes, with judgement that's unalloyed.

He’ll see the world is judged rightly himself,

and all the peoples (in his faithfulness)

will be connected to their greatest wealth.

The world rid fin-al-ly of wraith-full mess!

[...Oh praise him, halleluyah! My delight and my reward!

Everlasting, never failing! My Redeemer! My Lord!]
