[1] Sing to Yahweh a new song!
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
[2] Sing to Yahweh!
Bless his name!
Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
[3] Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples.
[4] For Yahweh is great, and greatly to be praised!
He is to be feared above all gods.
[5] For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
but Yahweh made the heavens.
[6] Honor and majesty are before him.
Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
[7] Ascribe to Yahweh, you families of nations,
ascribe to Yahweh glory and strength.
[8] Ascribe to Yahweh the glory due to his name.
Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
[9] Worship Yahweh in holy array.
Tremble before him, all the earth.
[10] Say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
The world is also established.
It can’t be moved.
He will judge the peoples with equity.
[11] Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice.
Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
[12] Let the field and all that is in it exult!
Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
[13] before Yahweh; for he comes,
for he comes to judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
the peoples with his truth.
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth.
