5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.

9 Before the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.

Let them sing before Adonai, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
