Give God the highest praise

A psalm.

¹ Sing a new song to the Lord.
He has done wonderful things.
By the power of his right hand and his holy arm
he has saved his people.

² The Lord has made known his power to save.
He has shown the nations that he does what is right.

³ He has shown his faithful love
to the people of Israel.
People from one end of the earth to the other
have seen that our God has saved us.

⁴ Shout for joy to the Lord, everyone on earth.
Burst into joyful songs and make music.

⁵ Make music to the Lord with the harp.
Sing and make music with the harp.

⁶ Blow the trumpets. Give a blast on the ram’s horn.
Shout for joy to the Lord. He is the King.

⁷ Let the ocean and everything in it roar.
Let the world and all who live in it shout.

⁸ Let the rivers clap their hands.
Let the mountains sing together with joy.

⁹ Let them sing to the Lord,
because he is coming to judge the earth.
He will judge the nations of the world
in keeping with what is right and fair.
