If the LORD had not been my help, My soul would soon have dwelt in the abode of silence.
They band themselves together against the life of the righteous And condemn the innocent to death.
But the LORD has been my stronghold, And my God the rock of my refuge.
He has brought back their wickedness upon them And will destroy them in their evil; The LORD our God will destroy them.
O come, let us sing for joy to the LORD, Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation.
For the LORD is a great God And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth, The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it, And His hands formed the dry land.
Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the LORD our Maker.
For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand. Today, if you would hear His voice,
Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah, As in the day of Massah in the wilderness,
Sing to the LORD a new song; Sing to the LORD, all the earth.
Sing to the LORD, bless His name; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.
Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.
For great is the LORD and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols, But the LORD made the heavens.
Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory of His name; Bring an offering and come into His courts.
Worship the LORD in holy attire; Tremble before Him, all the earth.
Say among the nations, “The LORD reigns; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.”
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; Let the sea roar, and all it contains;
Let the field exult, and all that is in it. Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy
Before the LORD, for He is coming, For He is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness And the peoples in His faithfulness.
The LORD reigns, let the earth rejoice; Let the many islands be glad.
Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne.
His lightnings lit up the world; The earth saw and trembled.
The mountains melted like wax at the presence of the LORD, At the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
The heavens declare His righteousness, And all the peoples have seen His glory.
Zion heard this and was glad, And the daughters of Judah have rejoiced Because of Your judgments, O LORD.
For You are the LORD Most High over all the earth; You are exalted far above all gods.
Hate evil, you who love the LORD, Who preserves the souls of His godly ones; He delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
Light is sown like seed for the righteous And gladness for the upright in heart.
Be glad in the LORD, you righteous ones, And give thanks to His holy name.
A Psalm. O sing to the LORD a new song, For He has done wonderful things, His right hand and His holy arm have gained the victory for Him.
The LORD has made known His salvation; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered His lovingkindness and His faithfulness to the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises.
Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, With the lyre and the sound of melody.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.
Let the sea roar and all it contains, The world and those who dwell in it.
Let the rivers clap their hands, Let the mountains sing together for joy
Before the LORD, for He is coming to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness And the peoples with equity.
The LORD reigns, let the peoples tremble; He is enthroned above the cherubim, let the earth shake!
The LORD is great in Zion, And He is exalted above all the peoples.
The strength of the King loves justice; You have established equity; You have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His footstool; Holy is He.
Moses and Aaron were among His priests, And Samuel was among those who called on His name; They called upon the LORD and He answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; They kept His testimonies And the statute that He gave them.
Exalt the LORD our God And worship at His holy hill, For holy is the LORD our God.
A Psalm for Thanksgiving. Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
