1  Oh sing to the Lord ^ya new song,

for he has done ^zmarvelous things!

His ^aright hand and his holy arm

have worked salvation for him.

2  The Lord has ^bmade known his salvation;

he has ^crevealed his righteousness in ^dthe sight of the nations.

3  He has ^eremembered his ^fsteadfast love and faithfulness

to the house of Israel.

All ^gthe ends of the earth have seen

^hthe salvation of our God.

4  ⁱMake a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;

^jbreak forth into joyous song and sing praises!

5  Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,

with the lyre and the ^ksound of melody!

6  With ^ltrumpets and the sound of ^mthe horn

ⁱmake a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

7  ⁿLet the sea roar, and ^oall that fills it;

^othe world and those who dwell in it!

8  Let the rivers ^pclap their hands;

let ^qthe hills sing for joy together

9  before the Lord, for he comes

to ^rjudge the earth.

He will judge the world with righteousness,

and the peoples with equity.

1  ^gOh give thanks to the Lord, ^hfor he is good,

for his steadfast love endures forever!

2  Let ⁱthe redeemed of the Lord say so,

whom he has ^jredeemed from trouble¹

3  and ^kgathered in from the lands,

from the east and from the west,

from the north and from the south.

4  Some ^lwandered in desert wastes,

finding no way ^mto a city to dwell in;

5  hungry and thirsty,

their soul ⁿfainted within them.

6  Then they ^ocried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

7  He led them by ^pa straight way

till they reached ^ma city to dwell in.

8  ^qLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

9  For he ^rsatisfies the longing soul,

^sand the hungry soul he fills with good things.

10  ^tSome sat in darkness and in ^uthe shadow of death,

prisoners in ^vaffliction and in irons,

11  for they ^whad rebelled against the words of God,

and ^xspurned the counsel of the Most High.

12  So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;

they fell down, ^ywith none to help.

13  ^zThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

14  He brought them out of ^adarkness and the shadow of death,

and ^bburst their bonds apart.

15  ^cLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

16  For he ^dshatters the doors of bronze

and cuts in two the bars of iron.

17  Some were ^efools through their sinful ways,

and because of their iniquities suffered affliction;

18  ^fthey loathed any kind of food,

and they ^gdrew near to ^hthe gates of death.

19  ⁱThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

20  He ^jsent out his word and ^khealed them,

and ^ldelivered them from their destruction.

21  ^mLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

22  And let them ⁿoffer sacrifices of thanksgiving,

and ^otell of his deeds in ^psongs of joy!

23  Some ^qwent down to the sea in ships,

doing business on the great waters;

24  they saw the deeds of the Lord,

his wondrous works in the deep.

25  For he ^rcommanded and ^sraised the stormy wind,

which lifted up the waves of the sea.

26  They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;

their courage ^tmelted away in their evil plight;

27  they reeled and ^ustaggered like drunken men

and ^vwere at their wits’ end.²

28  ^wThen they cried to the Lord in their trouble,

and he delivered them from their distress.

29  He ^xmade the storm be still,

and the waves of the sea were hushed.

30  Then they were glad that the waters³ were quiet,

and he brought them to their desired haven.

31  ^yLet them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,

for his wondrous works to the children of man!

32  Let them ^zextol him in ^athe congregation of the people,

and praise him in the assembly of the elders.

33  He ^bturns rivers into a desert,

springs of water into thirsty ground,

34  ^ca fruitful land into a salty waste,

because of the evil of its inhabitants.

35  He ^dturns a desert into pools of water,

^ea parched land into springs of water.

36  And there he lets the hungry dwell,

and they establish ^fa city to live in;

37  they sow fields and plant vineyards

and get a fruitful yield.

38  ^gBy his blessing they multiply greatly,

and he does not let their livestock diminish.

39  When they are diminished and brought low

through oppression, evil, and sorrow,

40  ^hhe pours contempt on princes

and ⁱmakes them wander ^jin trackless wastes;

41  but ^khe raises up the needy out of affliction

and ^lmakes their families like flocks.

42  ^mThe upright see it and are glad,

and ⁿall wickedness shuts its mouth.

43  ^oWhoever is wise, let him attend to these things;

let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.

1  ⁿPraise the Lord!

Praise the Lord, O my soul!

2  I will praise the Lord ^oas long as I live;

^pI will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

3  ^qPut not your trust in princes,

^rin a son of man, in whom there is ^sno salvation.

4  When ^this breath departs, he returns to the earth;

on that very day his plans perish.

5  ^uBlessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob,

whose ^vhope is in the Lord his God,

6  ^wwho made heaven and earth,

the sea, and all that is in them,

^xwho keeps faith forever;

7  ^ywho executes justice for the oppressed,

^zwho gives food to the hungry.

^aThe Lord sets the prisoners free;

8  ^bthe Lord opens the eyes of the blind.

^cThe Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;

^dthe Lord loves the righteous.

9  ^eThe Lord watches over the sojourners;

^fhe upholds the widow and the fatherless,

but ^gthe way of the wicked he brings to ruin.

10  ^hThe Lord will reign forever,

your God, O Zion, to all generations.

ⁿPraise the Lord!
