2 Jehovah hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.

3 He hath remembered his loving-kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth; break forth and shout for joy, and sing psalms.

Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!

5 Sing psalms unto Jehovah with the harp: with the harp, and the voice of a song;

Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.

with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.

8 Let the floods clap [their] hands; let the mountains sing for joy together,

Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration

9 Before Jehovah, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.
