Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done | marvelous things!*
  His right hand and his holy arm have worked salva- | tion for him.
The LORD has made known his sal- | vation;*
  he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the | nations.
He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of | Israel.*
  All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation | of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, | all the earth;*
  break forth into joyous song and sing | praises!
Sing praises to the LORD | with the lyre,*
  with the lyre and the sound of | melody!
With trumpets and the sound | of the horn*
  make a joyful noise before the | King, the LORD!
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son*
  and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- | ginning,*
  is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done | marvelous things!*
  His right hand and his holy arm have worked salva- | tion for him.
