1  ^xThe Lord reigns, ^ylet the earth rejoice;

let the many ^zcoastlands be glad!

2  ^aClouds and thick darkness are all around him;

^brighteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

3  ^cFire goes before him

and burns up his adversaries all around.

4  His ^dlightnings light up the world;

the earth sees and ^etrembles.

5  The mountains ^fmelt like ^gwax before the Lord,

before ^hthe Lord of all the earth.

6  ⁱThe heavens proclaim his righteousness,

and all ^jthe peoples see his glory.

7  All worshipers of images are ^kput to shame,

who make their boast in ^lworthless idols;

^mworship him, all you gods!

8  Zion hears and ⁿis glad,

and the daughters of Judah rejoice,

because of your judgments, O Lord.

9  For you, O Lord, are ^omost high over all the earth;

you are exalted far above ^pall gods.

10  O you who love the Lord, ^qhate evil!

He ^rpreserves the lives of his ^ssaints;

he ^tdelivers them from the hand of the wicked.

11  ^uLight ^vis sown¹ for the righteous,

and joy for the upright in heart.

12  ^wRejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,

and ^xgive thanks to his holy name!

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  Listen to me, ^kO coastlands,

and give attention, you peoples ^lfrom afar.

^mThe Lord called me from the womb,

from the body of my mother he named my name.

2  ⁿHe made my mouth like a sharp sword;

^oin the shadow of his hand he hid me;

he made me a polished arrow;

in his quiver he hid me away.

3  And he said to me, “You are my servant,

Israel, ^pin whom I will be glorified.”¹

4  ^qBut I said, “I have labored in vain;

I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity;

yet surely my right is with the Lord,

and my recompense with my God.”

5  ^rAnd now the Lord says,

he ^mwho formed me from the womb to be his servant,

to bring Jacob back to him;

and that Israel might be gathered to him—

for ^sI am honored in the eyes of the Lord,

and my God has become my strength—

6  he says:

“It is too light a thing that you should be my servant

to raise up the tribes of Jacob

and to bring back the preserved of Israel;

^tI will make you ^uas a light for the nations,

that ^vmy salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”

7  Thus says the Lord,

^wthe Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One,

^xto one deeply despised, abhorred by the nation,

the servant of rulers:

^y“Kings shall see and arise;

princes, and they shall prostrate themselves;

because of the Lord, who is faithful,

the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

8  Thus says the Lord:

^z“In a ^atime of favor I have answered you;

in a day of salvation I have helped you;

I will keep you ^band give you

as a covenant to the people,

to establish the land,

^cto apportion the desolate heritages,

9  ^dsaying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’

to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’

^eThey shall feed along the ways;

on all bare heights shall be their pasture;

10  ^fthey shall not hunger or thirst,

neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them,

for he who has pity on them ^gwill lead them,

and by springs of water will guide them.

11  ^hAnd I will make all my mountains a road,

and my highways shall be raised up.

12  ⁱBehold, these shall come from afar,

and behold, ^jthese from the north and from the west,²

and these from the land of Syene.”³
