Psalm 96 for Australia

⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, Australians and West Australians,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!

⁸Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

bring an offering, and come into his breathtaking gorges!

⁹ Worship the Lord in the splendour of holiness;

tremble before him, all Australia!

¹⁰ Say in W.A., “The Lord reigns!

Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;

he will judge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹ Let the Milky Way be glad, and let the South West rejoice;

let the Indian Ocean roar, and all that fills it;

¹² let the golden canola fields exult, and everything in them!

Then shall all the jarrah trees sing for joy

¹³ before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes to judge our nation.

He will judge us Sandgropers in righteousness,

and all Australians in his faithfulness.
