Psalms

Chapter 97

  1. 1

    Sing the Lord a new song, a song of wonder at his doings; how his own right hand, his own holy arm, brought him victory.

  2. 2

    The Lord has given proof of his saving power, has vindicated his just dealings, for all the nations to see;

  3. 3

    has remembered his gracious promise, and kept faith with the house of Israel; no corner of the world but has witnessed how our God can save.

  4. 4

    In God’s honour let all the earth keep holiday; let all be mirth and rejoicing and festal melody!

  5. 5

    Praise the Lord with the harp, with harp and psaltery’s music;

  6. 6

    with trumpets of metal, and the music of the braying horn! Keep holiday in the presence of the Lord, our King;

  7. 7

    the sea astir, and all that the sea holds, the world astir, and all that dwell on it;

  8. 8

    the rivers echoing their applause, the hills, too, rejoicing to see the Lord come.

  9. 9

    He comes to judge the earth; brings the world justice, to every race of men its due award.
