Tap a verse to highlight it

1 O sing to Jehovah a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him.

2 Jehovah has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has remembered his loving kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth. Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

5 Sing praises to Jehovah with the harp. With the harp and the voice of melody,

6 with trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King-Jehovah.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it.

8 Let the floods clap their hands. Let the hills sing for joy together

9 before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
