Psalms 96 Comparison: Catholic Public Domain vs KJV with Apocrypha
Psalms 96
1This is to David, when his land was restored to him. The Lord has reigned, let the earth exult. Let the many islands rejoice.
2Clouds and mist are all around him. Justice and judgment are corrections from his throne.
3A fire will precede him, and it will enflame his enemies all around.
4His lightnings have enlightened the whole world. The earth saw, and it was shaken.
5The mountains flowed like wax before the face of the Lord, before the face of the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens announced his justice, and all peoples saw his glory.
7May all those who adore graven images be confounded, along with those who glory in their false images. All you his Angels: Adore him.
8Zion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Judah exulted because of your judgments, O Lord.
9For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth. You are greatly exalted above all gods.
10You who love the Lord: hate evil. The Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones. He will free them from the hand of the sinner.
11The light has risen for the just, and joy for the upright of heart.
12Rejoice in the Lord, you just ones, and confess to the memory of his sanctuary.
Psalms 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.
