O come, let us sing unto the Lord  *

let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *

and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God *

and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are all the corners of the earth *

and the strength of the hills is his also.

The sea is his, and he made it *

and his hands prepared the dry land.

O come, let us worship and fall down *

and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is the Lord our God *

and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.

To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts *

as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness.

When your fathers tempted me *

proved me, and saw my works.

Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said *

It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways;

Unto whom I sware in my wrath *

that they should not enter into my rest.

O sing unto the Lord a new song  *

sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.

Sing unto the Lord, and praise his Name *

be telling of his salvation from day to day.

Declare his honour unto the heathen *

and his wonders unto all people.

For the Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised *

he is more to be feared than all gods.

As for all the gods of the heathen, they are but idols *

but it is the Lord that made the heavens.

Glory and worship are before him *

power and honour are in his sanctuary.

Ascribe unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people *

ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.

Ascribe unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name *

bring presents, and come into his courts.

O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness *

let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

Tell it out among the heathen that the Lord is King *

and that it is he who hath made the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; and how that he shall judge the people righteously.

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad *

let the sea make a noise, and all that therein is.

Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it *

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord.

For he cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth *

and with righteousness to judge the world, and the people with his truth.

The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof  *

yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof.

Clouds and darkness are round about him *

righteousness and judgement are the habitation of his seat.

There shall go a fire before him *

and burn up his enemies on every side.

His lightnings gave shine unto the world *

the earth saw it, and was afraid.

The hills melted like wax at the presence of the Lord *

at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

The heavens have declared his righteousness *

and all the people have seen his glory.

Confounded be all they that worship carved images, and that delight in vain gods *

worship him, all ye gods.

Sion heard of it, and rejoiced *

and the daughters of Judah were glad, because of thy judgements, O Lord.

For thou, Lord, art higher than all that are in the earth *

thou art exalted far above all gods.

O ye that love the Lord, see that ye hate the thing which is evil *

the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints; he shall deliver them from the hand of the ungodly.

There is sprung up a light for the righteous *

and joyful gladness for such as are true-hearted.

Rejoice in the Lord, ye righteous *

and give thanks for a remembrance of his holiness.
