Psalms 96:12
10 Declare among the nations: “The LORD reigns!” The world is firmly established; it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.
11 Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.
Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
13 before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
