Psalm 96:1-6

1Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
     sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
     tell of his salvation from day to day.
3Declare his glory among the nations,
     his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
    he is to be feared above all gods.
