[1] Sing a new song to the Eternal; sing in one voice to the Eternal, all the earth. [2] Sing to the Eternal of all the good things He's done. Bless His name; broadcast the good news of His salvation each and every day. [3] Enlighten the nations to His splendor; describe His wondrous acts to all people. [4] For the Eternal is great indeed and praiseworthy; feared and reverenced above all gods, the True God shall be. [5] For all human-made, lifeless gods are worthless idols, but the Eternal plotted the vast heavens, shaped every last detail. [6] Honor and majesty precede Him; strength and beauty infuse His holy sanctuary. [7] Give all credit to the Eternal, families of the world! Credit Him with glory, honor, and strength! [8] Credit Him with the glory worthy of His magnificent name; gather your sacrifice, and present it at His temple. [9] Bow down to the Eternal, adorned in holiness; lay awestruck before Him, trembling, all people of the earth. [10] Shout out to the nations, "The Eternal reigns! Yes, indeed, the world is anchored and will not shake loose. He governs all people with a fair hand." [11] And so, let the heavens resound in gladness! Let joy be the earth's rhythm as the sea and all its creatures roar. [12] Let the fields grow in triumph, a grand jubilee for all that live there. Let all the trees of the forest dig in and reach high with songs of joy before the Eternal, [13] For the Eternal is on His way: yes, He is coming to judge the earth. He will set the world right by His standards, and by His faithfulness, He will examine the people.
