שִׁירוּ לַה' שִׁיר חָדָשׁ; שִׁירוּ לַה' כָּל הָאָרֶץ

Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth.

שִׁירוּ לַה' בָּרְכוּ שְׁמוֹ בַּשְֹּרוּ מִיּוֹם לְיוֹם יְשׁוּעָתוֹ

Sing to the Lord, bless His name; proclaim the good tidings of His salvation day by day.

סַפְּרוּ בַגּוֹיִם כְּבוֹדוֹ בְּכָל הָעַמִּים נִפְלְאוֹתָיו

Tell of His glory among the nations and of His wonders among all the peoples.

כִּי גָדוֹל ה' וּמְהֻלָּל מְאֹד נוֹרָא הוּא עַל כָּל אֱלֹהִים

For the Lord is great and is to be praised exceedingly; He is feared above all gods.

כִּי כָּל אֱלֹהֵי הָעַמִּים אֱלִילִים ו ה'שָׁמַיִם עָשָׂה

For all gods of the peoples are merely useless, powerless idols, but the Lord possesses true power, as He made the heavens.

הוֹד וְהָדָר לְפָנָיו ; עֹז וְתִפְאֶרֶת בְּמִקְדָּשׁוֹ

Majesty and glory are situated before Him, in the courtyard of his Temple, and might and splendor are found in His Sanctuary.

הָבוּ לַה' מִשְׁפְּחוֹת עַמִּים; הָבוּ לַה' כָּבוֹד ועֹז

Render to the Lord, you families of the peoples; render to the Lord honor and might. Render honor by showing reverence to Him, and render might by clinging to Him with all your strength.

הָבוּ לַה' כְּבוֹד שְׁמוֹ שְׂאוּ מִנְחָה וּבֹאוּ לְחַצְרוֹתָיו

Render to the Lord the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come into His courtyards, to serve Him.

הִשְׁתַּחֲווּ לַה' בְּהַדְרַת קֹדֶשׁ חִילוּ מִפָּנָיו כָּל הָאָרֶץ

While there, bow down to the Lord in a mindset of splendor of holiness, that is, with the awe of awareness of His supreme holiness. Tremble before Him, all the earth.

אִמְרוּ בַגּוֹיִם ה' מָלָךְ אַף תִּכּוֹן תֵּבֵל בַּל תִּמּוֹט יָדִין עַמִּים בְּמֵישָׁרִים

Say among the nations: The Lord reigns! And when God’s kingship is revealed, the world is firmly established, not to be shaken; it will no longer seem shaky and precarious, as it sometimes does now. He will then minister fair judgment to the peoples.

יִשְׂמְחוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם וְתָגֵל הָאָרֶץ יִרְעַם הַיָּם וּמְלֹאוֹ

When God’s glory becomes revealed, the heavens will be happy, and the earth will rejoice. The sea and all its fullness will thunder. The sea will thunder with its roaring waves, and all the creatures that fill it will join in the chorus of praise to God.

יַעֲלֹז שָׂדַי וְכָל אֲשֶׁר בּוֹ אָז יְרַנְּנוּ כָּל עֲצֵי יָעַר

The fields and everything within them will exult. Even all the trees of the forest which, unlike cultivated fields, are not under man’s dominion, will then cry out for joy.

לִפְנֵי ה' כִּי בָא כִּי בָא לִשְׁפֹּט הָאָרֶץ יִשְׁפֹּט תֵּבֵל בְּצֶדֶק וְעַמִּים בֶּאֱמוּנָתוֹ

All of these will sing out in joy before the Lord when He comes and reveals Himself in the world, when He comes to judge the earth. This revelation of God will take place when He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with His faithfulness.
