Sing to the LORD with exultation
O sing a new song, all creation.
Sing to the LORD and bless his name.
Day after day with joy proclaim
the wondrous deeds of his salvation.

Vers 2

Make known his glory to the nations;
declare to all their populations
his marvellous works, for he, the LORD,
is to be worshipped and adored.
Praise him with joyful exclamations.

Vers 3

All gods revered by other nations
are merely idols, man’s creation.
Our God made all the heavens’ extent,
and glory dwells within his tent.
Before him kneel in adoration.

Vers 4

Glory and strength, O tribes and nations,
ascribe to God with exultation.
His power and majesty acclaim;
extol his great and glorious name.
Sing praise to him with jubilation.

Vers 5

Within his courts your offerings render
and worship him in holy splendour.
O all you nations, far and near,
tremble before him, quake with fear.
Bow down to him in awe and wonder.

Vers 6

Herald abroad as proclamation:
“The LORD is King of all creation.”
The world is firmly set in place;
none can his handiwork erase.
He will with justice rule the nations.

Vers 7

In him rejoice, O heights of heaven
Let earth be glad, to rapture driven.
Rejoice, O roaring sea’s domain;
exult, O fields of golden grain.
By rustling woods let praise be given.

Vers 8

Shout forth your gladness, all creation!
Sing to the LORD with exultation.
Behold, he comes! Your joy express!
He comes in truth and righteousness
to judge the earth and rule the nations.
