[¶0] 1 Sing ye to Jehovah a song that is new, Sing to Jehovah all the earth.

[¶1] 2 Sing to Jehovah, bless his name; Publish from day to day his salvation.

[¶2] 3 Tell among the heathen his glory; Among all the peoples his wonders.

[¶3] 4 For great is Jehovah, and to be praised highly; Terrible [is] he above all gods.

[¶4] 5 For all the gods of the nations are vanities; But Jehovah made the heavens.

[¶5] 6 Strength and majesty go before him; Power and glory are in his sanctuary.

[¶6] 7 Ascribe to Jehovah, O ye congregations of peoples! Ascribe to Jehovah glory and strength.

[¶7] 8 Ascribe to Jehovah the glory of his name; Bring an offering, and enter into his courts.

[¶8] 9 Worship before Jehovah in the beauty of the sanctuary; Tremble before his face let the whole earth.

[¶9] 10 Say ye among the heathen, “Jehovah reigneth; “Truly established shall be the world, it shall not be moved: “He shall judge the peoples in righteousness.”

[¶10] 11 Rejoice let the heavens, and exult let the earth; Thunder let the sea, and the fullness thereof.

[¶11] 12 Exult let the field, and all that is in it; Shout for joy together let all the trees of the wood

[¶12] 13 Before Jehovah; for he cometh, For he cometh to judge the earth: He shall judge the world in righteousness, And the peoples in his truth.
