^cSing unto the Lord, all the earth.

²Sing unto the Lord, bless his name;

Shew forth his salvation from day to day.

³Declare his glory among the heathen,

His wonders among all people.

^4dFor the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised:

He is to be feared above all gods.

⁵For all the gods of the nations are idols:

But the Lord made the heavens.

⁶Honour and majesty are before him:

^eStrength and ^ebeauty are in his sanctuary.

^cGive unto the Lord glory and strength.

⁹O worship the Lord ^||in the beauty of holiness:

^hhFear before him, all the earth.

¹⁰Say among the heathen that ⁱthe Lord reigneth:

ⁱThe world also shall be established that it shall not be moved:

^jHe shall judge the people ^krighteously.

¹¹Let the heavens rejoice, and ^llet the earth be glad;

Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

^12mLet the field be joyful, and all that is therein:

Then shall all the trees of the wood ⁿrejoice

¹³Before the Lord: for he cometh,

For ^jhe cometh to judge the earth:

^cHe shall judge the world with righteousness,

And the people with his truth.

Psalm 97

^1aThe Lord reigneth; ^blet the earth rejoice;

Let the ^†multitude of ^cisles be glad thereof.

^2dClouds and ^ddarkness are round about him:

^eRighteousness and judgment are the ^||ehabitation of his throne.

^3fA fire goeth before him,

And burneth up his enemies round about.

^4gHis lightnings enlightened the world:

The earth saw, and trembled.

^5hThe hills melted ⁱlike wax at the presence of the Lord,

At the presence of ^kthe Lord of the whole earth.

^6lThe heavens declare his righteousness,

And all the people see his glory.

⁷Confounded be all they that serve ^mgraven images,

That boast themselves of ⁿidols:

^oWorship him, all ye gods.

⁸Zion heard, and ^pwas glad;

And ^pthe daughters of Judah rejoiced

Because of thy judgments, O Lord.

⁹For thou, Lord, art ^qhigh above all the earth:

Thou art exalted far ^rabove all gods.

¹⁰Ye that love the Lord, ^shate evil:

^tHe preserveth the souls of ^uhis saints;

^vHe delivereth them out of the hand of the wicked.

^11wLight is sown for the righteous,

And gladness for ^xthe upright in heart.

^12yRejoice in the Lord, ye righteous;

^zAnd give thanks ^||at the remembrance of his holiness.

^diAll the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

^4kMake a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:

^lMake a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

⁵Sing unto the Lord with the ^mharp;

^mWith the harp, and ⁿthe voice of a psalm.

^kqMake a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.

^7rLet the sea roar, and ^sthe fulness thereof;

And the people ^ywith equity.

^6noMoses and Aaron among his ^opriests,

And ^npSamuel among them that call upon his name;

They ^qcalled upon the Lord, and ^phe answered them.

⁷He spake unto them in the ^rcloudy pillar:

^sThey kept his testimonies, and the ordinance that he gave them.

⁸Thou answeredst ^tthem, O Lord our God:

Thou wast a God that ^uforgavest them,

^wThough thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.

^9kExalt the Lord our God,

And worship at ^xhis holy hill;
