English translation (JPS 1917)
- A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; For He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.
- The LORD hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He revealed in the sight of the nations.
- He hath remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
- Shout unto the LORD, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.
- Sing praises unto the LORD with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.
- With trumpets and sound of the horn Shout ye before the King, the LORD.
- Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;
- Let the floods clap their hands; Let the mountains sing for joy together;
- Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
