1 A psalm. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory. 2 Yahweh has made known his salvation; he has openly showed his justice to all the nations. 3 He calls to mind his covenant loyalty and faithfulness for the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God. 4 Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises. 5 Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and melodious song. 6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh. 7 Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it! 8 Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy. 9 Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.
