Psalms 96 Comparison: Bible in Basic English vs New Heart English Bible
Psalms 96
1O make a new song to the Lord; let all the earth make melody to the Lord.
2Make songs to the Lord, blessing his name; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
3Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
4For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; he is more to be feared than all other gods.
5For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
6Honour and glory are before him: strong and fair is his holy place.
7Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
8Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come into his house.
9O give worship to the Lord in holy robes; be in fear before him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations, The Lord is King; yes, the world is ordered so that it may not be moved; he will be an upright judge of the peoples.
11Let the heavens have joy and the earth be glad; let the sea be thundering with all its waters;
12Let the field be glad, and everything which is in it; yes, let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy,
13Before the Lord, for he is come; he is come to be the judge of the earth; the earth will be judged in righteousness, and the peoples with unchanging faith.

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.
5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.
6Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Ascribe to the Lord, you families of nations, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
8Ascribe to the Lord the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9Worship the Lord in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10Say among the nations, "The Lord reigns." The world is also established. It can't be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
13before the Lord; for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, the peoples with his truth.
