Psalm 97

1
(A psalm.)
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.
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
The Lord has given proof of his saving power, has vindicated his just dealings, for all the nations to see;
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
In God’s honour let all the earth keep holiday; let all be mirth and rejoicing and festal melody!
5
Praise the Lord with the harp, with harp and psaltery’s music;
6
with trumpets of metal, and the music of the braying horn! Keep holiday in the presence of the Lord, our King;
7
the sea astir, and all that the sea holds, the world astir, and all that dwell on it;
8
the rivers echoing their applause, the hills, too, rejoicing to see the Lord come. He comes to judge the earth; brings the world justice, to every race of men its due award.
