Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song; sing to Yahweh, all the earth.

2 Sing unto the LORD, bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day.

Sing to Yahweh, bless his name; announce his salvation day after day.

Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.

4 For the LORD [is] great, and greatly to be praised: he [is] to be feared above all gods.

For Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly. He is to be feared above all other gods.

5 For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens.

For all the gods of the nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.

6 Honour and majesty [are] before him: strength and beauty [are] in his sanctuary.

Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

7 Give unto the LORD, O ye kindreds of the people, give unto the LORD glory and strength.

Ascribe to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe praise to Yahweh for his glory and strength.

10 Say among the heathen [that] the LORD reigneth: the world also shall be established that it shall not be moved: he shall judge the people righteously.
