1O sing unto HaShem a new song; sing unto HaShem, all the earth.

2Sing unto HaShem, bless His name; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

3Declare His glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.

4For great is HaShem, and highly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.

5For all the gods of the peoples are things of nought; but HaShem made the heavens.

6Honour and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary.

7Ascribe unto HaShem, ye kindreds of the peoples, ascribe unto HaShem glory and strength.

8Ascribe unto HaShem the glory due unto His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts.

9O worship HaShem in the beauty of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth.

10Say among the nations: 'The HaShem reigneth.' The world also is established that it cannot be moved; He will judge the peoples with equity.

11Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof;

12Let the field exult; and all that is therein; then shall all the trees of the wood sing for joy;

13Before HaShem, for He is come; for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples in His faithfulness.
