Psalms 96

Which worship songs are based on Psalms 96?

  1. Psalm 96 (Intro) — Forrest Frank (2023) Psalms 96:1

    The entire lyric directly repeats Psalm 96:1’s opening command to offer the Lord a new song. The song title further confirms this specific source.

  2. Let The People Sing - Live — Jesus Culture (2023) Psalms 96:1-3

    The opening summons closely follows this psalm's combined call for all the earth to sing to the Lord and announce his salvation publicly.

  3. More Precious Than Silver / I Sing Praises — Shane & Shane (2024) Psalms 96:4

    The praise section closely adapts the psalm's declaration that the Lord is great and therefore worthy of correspondingly great praise.

  4. Great Is the Lord — Housefires (2016) Psalms 96:4-6

    The chorus closely reproduces the psalm’s declaration of the Lord’s greatness and supreme worthiness, while the opening imagery of splendor, majesty, strength, and beauty also follows the same passage.

  5. My Father's World — Chris Tomlin (2026) Psalms 96:10-12

    The song closely follows the psalm's combined proclamation of God's reign and its call for heaven, earth, and the natural world to rejoice before him.

Psalms 96 (King James Version)

1 O sing unto the LORD a new song: sing unto the LORD, all the earth.

2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.

4 For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised: he is to be feared above all gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations are idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty are before him: strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

8 Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

9 O worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth.

10 Say 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.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice

13 Before 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.
