1A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
1The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; let the distant shores be glad.
2The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
2Clouds and darkness surround Him; righteousness and justice are His throne’s foundation.
3He hath remembered his mercy his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
3Fire goes before Him and consumes His foes on every side.
4Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
4His lightning illuminates the world; the earth sees and trembles.
5Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:
5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the LORD, before the Lord of all the earth.
6With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:
6The heavens proclaim His righteousness; all the peoples see His glory.
7Let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.
7All worshipers of images are put to shame— those who boast in idols. Worship Him, all you gods!
8The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together
8Zion hears and rejoices, and the towns of Judah exult because of Your judgments, O LORD.
9At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
9For You, O LORD, are Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
