1O 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.

2The Lord hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen.

3He 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.

4Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

5Sing unto the Lord with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm.

6With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

8Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

9Before the Lord; for he cometh to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
