Psalm
96 Prayed
Worshiping Jesus in his glory
Sing to the Lord Jesus a new
song;
sing
to Christ, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord Jesus, praise
his name;
proclaim
his salvation day after day.
We declare your glory among the
nations,
your
marvellous deeds among all peoples.
For you are great, Lord Jesus,
and most worthy of
praise;
you
are to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations
are idols,
but
you are the Lord who made the heavens.
Splendour and majesty are
before you;
strength
and glory are in your sanctuary,
where the four living creatures
and the twenty-
four
elders
fall
down before you, the Lamb of God.
Each one has a harp and they
hold golden bowls
full
of incense,
which
are the prayers of the saints.
And
they sing a new song:
“You are worthy to take the
scroll
and
to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and
with your blood you purchased men for
God
from
every tribe and language and people and
nation.
You have made them to be a
kingdom and priests
to
serve our God,
and
they will reign on the earth.”
The voice of many angels,
numbering thousands
upon
thousands,
and
ten thousand times ten thousand,
they encircle your throne and
the living creatures
and
the elders.
In
a loud voice they sing:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was
slain,
to
receive power and wealth and wisdom and
strength
and
honour and glory and praise!”
Ascribe to the Lord Jesus, O
families of nations,
ascribe
to the Lord Jesus glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord Jesus the
glory due his name;
bring
an offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord Jesus in the splendour
of his
holiness;
tremble
before him, all the earth.
We will say among the nations,
“The Lord Jesus reigns.”
The world is firmly
established, it cannot be
moved;
you
will judge the peoples with equity.
Let the heavens rejoice, let
the earth be glad;
let
the sea resound, and all that is in it;
let
the fields be jubilant, and everything in
them.
Then all the trees of the
forest will sing for joy;
they
will sing before you, Lord Jesus, for you
are
coming,
you
are coming to judge the earth.
Then the creation itself will
be liberated
from
its bondage to decay
and brought into the glorious
freedom
of
the children of God.
For we will not all sleep, but
we will all be
changed—
in
a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last
trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound,
the
dead will be raised imperishable,
and
we will be changed.
For the perishable must clothe
itself with the
imperishable,
and
the mortal with immortality.
When the perishable has been
clothed with the
imperishable,
and
the mortal with immortality,
then
the saying that is written will come true:
“Death has been swallowed up in
victory.”
“Where,
O death, is your victory?
Where,
O death, is your sting?”
O Chief Shepherd, when you appear,
we
will receive the crown of glory
that
will never fade away.
You will judge the world in
righteousness
and
the peoples in his truth.
For we must all appear before your
judgment seat
O
Christ,
that
each one may receive what is due us
for
the things done while in the body,
whether
good or bad.
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
