Psalm 96:5-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

5. All of the gods of the nations are like their statues. They can't do anything. But the Lord made the heavens.

6. Glory and majesty are all around him. Strength and glory can be seen in his temple.

7. Praise the Lord, all you nations. Praise the Lord for his glory and strength.

8. Praise the Lord for the glory that belongs to him. Bring an offering and come into the courtyards of his temple.

9. Worship the Lord because of his beauty and holiness. All you people of the earth, tremble when you are with him.

10. Say to the nations, "The Lord rules." The world is firmly set in place. It can't be moved. The Lord will judge the people of the world fairly.

11. Let the heavens be full of joy. Let the earth be glad. Let the ocean and everything in it roar.
