96 O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.
2 Sing unto the Lord, bless his name; show 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 Honor 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. (KJV)
Our Father,
We sing to you O Lord a new song; we sing to you and bless your name. We tell of your salvation from day to day and declare your glory and the greatness of your Son among the nations and his marvelous works among all people. For great is our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; he is clothed in splendor and majesty and strength and beauty are manifestations of his character.
We say to the nations: The Lord reigns! His creation is established and he is coming soon to establish his Kingdom on the earth as it is in Heaven. Worship the Lord all the earth while there is yet day. For when he comes every knee shall bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.
Let the heavens be glad and let the earth and all creatures rejoice. For the Lord is coming soon; then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy for he comes to rule all creation. Let all the people also rejoice, for when he comes all sickness and hunger will be gone, no more war, pandemics, or chaos in the streets; the captives will be set free, and real justice will finally prevail.
We look for his coming but before that great day we look for your Kingdom to come down in our midst and for your signs and wonders to flow forth from your church and servants until every nation and tongue hears the Gospel of the Kingdom and the great Harvest is complete.
Let your Spirit be poured out on this nation and the whole earth; and raise up a people called by the name of your son Jesus among every nation and tongue.
In Jesus name, Amen.
