    Sing to the LORD a new song; *

    Sing to the LORD and bless his Name; *
    proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.

  3. 3

    Declare his glory among the nations *
    and his wonders among all peoples.

  4. 4

    For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; *
    he is more to be feared than all gods.

  5. 5

    As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *
    but it is the LORD who made the heavens.

  6. 6

    Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *
    Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!

    Ascribe to the LORD, you families of the peoples; *
    ascribe to the LORD honor and power.

    Ascribe to the LORD the honor due his Name; *
    bring offerings and come into his courts.

    Worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness; *
    let the whole earth tremble before him.

  10. 10

    Tell it out among the nations: "The LORD is King! *
    he has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he will judge the peoples with equity."

  11. 11

    Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea thunder and all that is in it; *
    let the field be joyful and all that is therein.

  12. 12

    Then shall all the trees of the wood shout for joy before the LORD when he comes, *
    when he comes to judge the earth.

  13. 13

    He will judge the world with righteousness *
    and the peoples with his truth.
