1 A Psalm. Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. (Ex 15:6; Job 40:14; Ps 33:3; Ps 72:18; Ps 96:3; Lu 1:51) 2 The Lord has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. (Ps 96:2; Isa 49:6; Isa 52:10; Isa 59:16; Isa 62:2; Isa 63:5; Lu 2:30; Ro 3:25) 3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. (Ps 22:27; Ps 36:5; Ps 98:2; Lu 1:54; Lu 1:72) 4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises! (Ps 66:1; Isa 44:23) 5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody! (Isa 51:3) 6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord! (Nu 10:10; 1Ch 15:24; 2Ch 15:14; Ps 98:4) 7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who dwell in it! (Ps 24:1; Ps 96:11) 8 Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together (Ps 89:12; Ps 93:3; Isa 55:12) 9 before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity. (Ps 58:11; Ps 96:13)

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. 2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. 3 He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God. 4 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. 5 Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. 6 With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King. 7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 8 Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together 9 Before the LORD; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
