Sing to the LORD a New Song

Seen from the dry seabed, a sheer wall of dark water stands still like glass, its crest ruffled by a strong wind under a night sky.

A Psalm.

Sing to the LORD a new song,

for He has done wonders;

His right hand and holy arm

have gained Him the victory.

The LORD has proclaimed His salvation

and revealed His righteousness to the nations.

He has remembered His love and faithfulness

to the house of Israel;

all the ends of the earth

have seen the salvation of our God.

A Levite in plain linen, seen from behind in a temple court, raises a long curved ram’s horn to a bright morning sky, trumpets and lyres blurred beside him.

Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth;

break forth—let your cry ring out, and sing praises!

Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre,

in melodious song with the harp.

With trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn

shout for joy before the LORD, the King.
