Psalm 96:1–132 matched frames

Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

  • A 1-3 O sing unto Yahweh a new song: sing unto Yahweh, all the earth. Sing unto Yahweh, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.
    • B 4 For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.
      • B 5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but Yahweh made the heavens.
    • B' 6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
  • A' 7-10 Give unto Yahweh, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto Yahweh glory and strength. Give unto Yahweh the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. O worship Yahweh in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. Say among the heathen that the LORD reigneth:
  • A 10 the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
    • B 11-12 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice
      • B 13 Before the LORD:
  • A' 13 for he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he shall judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.
