²Sing to the Lord, bless his name;

³Declare his glory among the nations,

⁴For ^dgreat is the Lord, and ^egreatly to be praised;

he is to be feared above ^fall gods.

⁵For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,

but the Lord ^gmade the heavens.

⁶Splendor and majesty are before him;

^hstrength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

⁷Ascribe to the Lord, O ⁱfamilies of the peoples,

^otremble before him, all the earth!

¹⁰Say among the nations, ^p“The Lord reigns!

Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;

he will ^qjudge the peoples with equity.”

¹¹Let ^rthe heavens be glad, and let ^sthe earth rejoice;

let ^tthe sea roar, and all that fills it;

¹²let ^uthe field exult, and everything in it!

Then shall all ^vthe trees of the forest sing for joy

¹³before the Lord, for he comes,

for he comes ^wto judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness,

and the peoples in his faithfulness.
