- 1Sing a new song[1] to the LORD! Let the whole world sing to the LORD!
- 2Sing to the LORD and praise his name! Tell the good news every day about how he saves us!
- 3Tell all the nations how wonderful he is! Tell people everywhere about the amazing things he does.
- 4The LORD is great and worthy of praise. He is more awesome than any of the “gods.”
- 5All the “gods” in other nations are nothing but statues, but the LORD made the heavens.
- 6He lives in the presence of glory and honor. His Temple is a place of power and beauty.
- 7Praise the LORD, all people of every nation; praise the LORD’s glory and power.
- 8Give the LORD praise worthy of his glory! Come, bring your offerings into his courtyard.
- 9Worship the LORD in all his holy beauty. Everyone on earth should tremble before him.
- 10Tell the nations that the LORD is King! The world stands firm and cannot be moved. He will judge all people fairly.
- 11Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be happy! Let the sea and everything in it shout for joy!
- 12Let the fields and everything in them be happy! Let the trees in the forest sing for joy
- 13when they see the LORD coming! He is coming to rule[2] the world. He will rule all the nations of the world with justice and fairness.
