1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
1Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
2Sing to the LORD! Bless his name! Proclaim his salvation from day to day!
3A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
3Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples.
4His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
4For the LORD is great, and greatly to be praised! He is to be feared above all gods.
5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
6Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
7Ascribe to the LORD, you families of nations, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
8Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord.
8Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come into his courts.
9For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.
9Worship the LORD in holy array. Tremble before him, all the earth.
10You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.
10Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns.” The world is also established. It can’t be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.
11Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart.
11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let the sea roar, and its fullness!
12Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.
12Let the field and all that is in it exult! Then all the trees of the woods shall sing for joy
