Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth.

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

Sing to the LORD, bless His name; proclaim His salvation day after day.

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

For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all 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 the LORD who made the heavens.

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

Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty fill His sanctuary.

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

Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.

8 Give to the LORD the glory [due to] his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts.

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fullness of it.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice; let the sea resound, and all that fills it.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that [is] in it: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the LORD:

Let the fields exult, and all that is in them. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy

13 For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the people with his truth.

before the LORD, for He is coming— He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness and the peoples in His faithfulness.
