John 96

1O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

2Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the Lord made the heavens.

6Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7Give unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the Lord glory and strength.

8Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10Say among the heathen that the Lord reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.

11Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13Before the Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

Reading note: Commentary is an author’s interpretation and is not Scripture. The KJV remains this project’s primary Bible text even when another historical translation is selected above.

Text source

Public-domain Bible texts, clearly identified

The reader defaults to the 1769 King James Version. The public-domain Wycliffe edition contains the Pentateuch and four Gospels in Middle English. William Tyndale’s never-completed translation includes his New Testament, Pentateuch, and Jonah; missing books are not silently supplied from another version. The Geneva, Webster, Darby, Young’s Literal, and American Standard versions are complete public-domain editions distributed by CrossWire. Strong’s tools remain attached only to the KJV source text.
