1 A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
[A Psalm.] Sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

5 Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:
Sing praises to the LORD with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:
With trumpets and sound of the ram's horn, make a joyful noise before the King, the LORD.
7 Let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.
Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell in it.
8 The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together
Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
Let them sing before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
