1 Sing to the LORD a new song! Sing to the LORD, all the earth!

2 Sing to the LORD! Praise his name! Day after day announce that the LORD saves his people.

3 Tell people about his glory. Tell all the nations about his miracles.

4 The LORD is great! He should be highly praised. He should be feared more than all [other] gods

5 because all the gods of the nations are idols. The LORD made the heavens.

6 Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and beauty are in his holy place.

7 Give to the LORD, you families of the nations. Give to the LORD glory and power.

8 Give to the LORD the glory he deserves. Bring an offering, and come into his courtyards.

9 Worship the LORD in [his] holy splendor. Tremble in his presence, all the earth!

10 Say to the nations, "The LORD rules as king!" The earth stands firm; it cannot be moved. He will judge people fairly.

11 Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad. Let the sea and everything in it roar like thunder.

12 Let the fields and everything in them rejoice. Then all the trees in the forest will sing joyfully

13 in the LORD's presence because he is coming. He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness and its people with his truth.

1 The LORD rules as king. Let the earth rejoice. Let all the islands be joyful.

2 Clouds and darkness surround him. Righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

3 Fire spreads ahead of him. It burns his enemies who surround him.

4 His flashes of lightning light up the world. The earth sees them and trembles.

5 The mountains melt like wax in the presence of the LORD, in the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

6 The heavens tell about his righteousness, and all the people of the world see his glory.

7 Everyone who worships idols and brags about false gods will be put to shame. All the gods will bow to him.

8 Zion hears about this and rejoices. The people of Judah are delighted with your judgments, O LORD.

9 You, O LORD, the Most High, are above the whole earth. You are highest. You are above all the gods.

10 Let those who love the LORD hate evil. The one who guards the lives of his godly ones will rescue them from the power of wicked people.

11 Light dawns for righteous people and joy for those whose motives are decent.

12 Find joy in the LORD, you righteous people. Give thanks to him as you remember how holy he is.

1 Sing a new song to the LORD because he has done miraculous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gained victory for him.

2 The LORD has made his salvation known. He has uncovered his righteousness for the nations to see.

3 He has not forgotten to be merciful and faithful to Israel's descendants. All the ends of the earth have seen how our God saves [them].

4 Shout happily to the LORD, all the earth. Break out into joyful singing, and make music.

5 Make music to the LORD with a lyre, with a lyre and the melody of a psalm,

6 with trumpets and the playing of a ram's horn. Shout happily in the presence of the king, the LORD.

7 Let the sea, everything in it, the world, and those who live in it roar like thunder.

8 Let the rivers clap their hands and the mountains sing joyfully

9 in the LORD's presence because he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and its people with fairness.

1 The LORD rules as king. Let the people tremble. He is enthroned over the angels. Let the earth quake.

2 The LORD is mighty in Zion. He is high above all people.

3 Let them give thanks to your great and fearful name. He is holy!

4 The king's strength is that he loves justice. You have established fairness. You have done what is fair and right for Jacob.

5 Highly honor the LORD our God. Bow down at his footstool. He is holy!

6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests. Samuel was among those who prayed to him. They called to the LORD, and he answered them.

7 He spoke to them from a column of smoke. They obeyed his written instructions and the laws that he gave them.

8 O LORD, our God, you answered them. You showed them that you are a forgiving God and that you are a God who punishes their [sinful] deeds.

9 Highly honor the LORD our God. Bow at his holy mountain. The LORD our God is holy!

1 Shout happily to the LORD, all the earth.

2 Serve the LORD cheerfully. Come into his presence with a joyful song.

3 Realize that the LORD alone is God. He made us, and we are his. We are his people and the sheep in his care.

4 Enter his gates with a song of thanksgiving. Come into his courtyards with a song of praise. Give thanks to him; praise his name.

5 The LORD is good. His mercy endures forever. His faithfulness endures throughout every generation.

1 I will sing about mercy and justice. O LORD, I will make music to praise you.

2 I want to understand the path to integrity. When will you come to me? I will live in my own home with integrity.

3 I will not put anything wicked in front of my eyes. I hate what unfaithful people do. I want no part of it.

4 I will keep far away from devious minds. I will have nothing to do with evil.

5 I will destroy anyone who secretly slanders his neighbor. I will not tolerate anyone with a conceited look or arrogant heart.

6 My eyes will be watching the faithful people in the land so that they may live with me. The person who lives with integrity will serve me.

7 The one who does deceitful things will not stay in my home. The one who tells lies will not remain in my presence.

8 Every morning I will destroy all the wicked people in the land to rid the LORD's city of all troublemakers.

1 O LORD, hear my prayer, and let my cry for help come to you.

2 Do not hide your face from me when I am in trouble. Turn your ear toward me. Answer me quickly when I call.

3 My days disappear like smoke. My bones burn like hot coals.

4 My heart is beaten down and withered like grass because I have forgotten about eating.

5 I am nothing but skin and bones because of my loud groans.

6 I am like a desert owl, like an owl living in the ruins.

7 I lie awake. I am like a lonely bird on a rooftop.

8 All day long my enemies insult me. Those who ridicule me use my name as a curse.

9 I eat ashes like bread and my tears are mixed with my drink

10 because of your hostility and anger, because you have picked me up and thrown me away.

11 My days are like a shadow that is getting longer, and I wither away like grass.

12 But you, O LORD, remain forever. You are remembered throughout every generation.

13 You will rise and have compassion on Zion, because it is time to grant a favor to it. Indeed, the appointed time has come.

14 Your servants value Zion's stones, and they pity its rubble.

15 The nations will fear the LORD's name. All the kings of the earth will fear your glory.

16 When the LORD builds Zion, he will appear in his glory.

17 He will turn his attention to the prayers of those who have been abandoned. He will not despise their prayers.

18 This will be written down for a future generation so that a people yet to be created may praise the LORD:

19 "The LORD looked down from his holy place high above. From heaven he looked at the earth.

20 He heard the groans of the prisoners and set free those who were condemned to death.

21 The LORD's name is announced in Zion and his praise in Jerusalem

22 when nations and kingdoms gather to worship the LORD."

23 He has weakened my strength along the way. He has reduced [the number of] my days.

24 I said, "My God, don't take me now in the middle of my life. Your years [continue on] throughout every generation.

25 Long ago you laid the foundation of the earth. Even the heavens are the works of your hands.

26 They will come to an end, but you will still go on. They will all wear out like clothing. You will change them like clothes, and they will be thrown away.

27 But you remain the same, and your life will never end.

28 The children of your servants will go on living [here]. Their descendants will be secure in your presence."
