1 Sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand, and his holy arm, have worked salvation for him.
2 Yahweh has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to Yahweh, all the earth! Burst out and sing for joy, yes, sing praises!
5 Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and the voice of melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of the ram’s horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.
7 Let the sea roar with its fullness; the world, and those who dwell therein.
8 Let the rivers clap their hands. Let the mountains sing for joy together.
9 Let them sing before Yahweh, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
