1Sing to YHWH a new song; sing to YHWH, all the earth. 2Sing to YHWH, bless his name; bring the good news from day to day of his salvation. 3Tell among the nations his glory, among all the peoples his wonders. 4For great is YHWH and greatly to be praised; fearsome is he above all the gods. 5For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but YHWH made the heavens. 6Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary. 7Give to YHWH, families of the peoples, give to YHWH glory and strength. 8Give to YHWH the glory of his name; bring an offering and come into his courts. 9Bow down to YHWH in the majesty of holiness; tremble before him, all the earth. 10Say among the nations, “YHWH reigns!” The world also is firm; it will not be shaken; he will judge the peoples with uprightness. 11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea thunder, and what fills it; 12let the field exult, and all that is in it; then all the trees of the forest will shout for joy 13before YHWH, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his faithfulness.
