The text of the psalm

מִזְמוֹר שִׁירוּ לַיהוָה שִׁיר חָדָשׁ כִּי־נִפְלָאוֹת עָשָׂה הוֹשִׁיעָה־לּוֹ יְמִינוֹ וּזְרוֹעַ קָדְשֽׁוֹ׃

A Psalm. O sing unto the LORD a new song; For He hath done marvellous things; His right hand, and His holy arm, hath wrought salvation for Him.

הוֹדִיעַ יְהוָה יְשׁוּעָתוֹ לְעֵינֵי הַגּוֹיִם גִּלָּה צִדְקָתֽוֹ׃

The LORD hath made known His salvation; His righteousness hath He revealed in the sight of the nations.

זָכַר חַסְדּוֹ וֶאֱמוּנָתוֹ לְבֵית יִשְׂרָאֵל רָאוּ כָל־אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ אֵת יְשׁוּעַת אֱלֹהֵֽינוּ׃

He hath remembered His mercy and His faithfulness toward the house of Israel; All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

הָרִיעוּ לַיהוָה כָּל־הָאָרֶץ פִּצְחוּ וְרַנְּנוּ וְזַמֵּֽרוּ׃

Shout unto the LORD, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

זַמְּרוּ לַיהוָה בְּכִנּוֹר בְּכִנּוֹר וְקוֹל זִמְרָֽה׃

Sing praises unto the LORD with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.

בַּחֲצֹצְרוֹת וְקוֹל שׁוֹפָר הָרִיעוּ לִפְנֵי הַמֶּלֶךְ יְהוָֽה׃

With trumpets and sound of the horn Shout ye before the King, the LORD.

יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ תֵּבֵל וְיֹשְׁבֵי בָֽהּ׃

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

נְהָרוֹת יִמְחֲאוּ־כָף יַחַד הָרִים יְרַנֵּֽנוּ׃

Let the floods clap their hands; Let the mountains sing for joy together;

לִפְנֵי־יְהוָה כִּי בָא לִשְׁפֹּט הָאָרֶץ יִשְׁפֹּט־תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק וְעַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִֽים׃

Before the LORD, for He is come to judge the earth; He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
