A psalm. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.

2 Jehovah has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

4 Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth. Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises.

5 Sing praises to Jehovah with the harp. With the harp and the voice of melody,

6 with trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King-Jehovah.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it.

Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it!

8 Let the floods clap their hands. Let the hills sing for joy together

Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy.

9 before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.
