Psalm 96 Prayer

I am working on a series of posts about spiritual battle because I am coming out of an intense one. However, the posts aren’t ready yet, and today is a new day to praise God. So, let us join together with the writer of Psalm 96 and sing a song of praise. He has brought each of us through battles and he is ALWAYS worthy of praise!!

Triumphant God,

We sing a new song to the Lord, praising your name and proclaiming the good news of your salvation. We celebrate your glorious deeds and your saving power in our lives. You are great and worthy of praise! You are above all other gods, and honor, majesty, strength and beauty surround you in your sanctuary. You are glorious and strong and we worship you in holy splendor. We tremble before the Lord who reigns, stands firm, cannot be shaken, and judges all people fairly. We rejoice, praise, burst out with joy, and sing because you are coming to judge the world with justice and the nations with your truth.  Great are you, Lord! You are most worthy of praise! AMEN and AMEN!    

“Sing a new song to the Lord!
    Let the whole earth sing to the Lord!
Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
    Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.
Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
    Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.
Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise!
    He is to be feared above all gods.
The gods of other nations are mere idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens!
Honor and majesty surround him;
    strength and beauty fill his sanctuary.

O nations of the world, recognize the Lord;
    recognize that the Lord is glorious and strong.
Give to the Lord the glory he deserves!
    Bring your offering and come into his courts.
Worship the Lord in all his holy splendor.
    Let all the earth tremble before him.
Tell all the nations, “The Lord reigns!”
    The world stands firm and cannot be shaken.
    He will judge all peoples fairly.

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice!
    Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise!
Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!
    Let the trees of the forest sing for joy
before the Lord, for he is coming!
    He is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with justice,
    and the nations with his truth. (Psalm 96 NLT)
