1
ThomsonTHE Lord is king; let the earth rejoice—let the multitude of isles be glad.
BrentonA Psalm of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; for the Lord has wrought wonderful works, his right hand, and his holy arm, have wrought salvation for him.
GreekΨαλμὸς τῷ Δαυίδ. Ἄσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ᾆσμα καινὸν, ὅτι θαυμαστὰ ἐποίησεν ὁ Κύριος· ἔσωσεν αὐτῷ ἡ δεξιὰ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ὁ βραχίων ὁ ἅγιος αὐτοῦ.
2
ThomsonA cloud and darkness are around Him: justice and judgment are the basis of His throne.
BrentonThe Lord has made known his salvation, he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
GreekἘγνώρισε Κύριος τὸ σωτήριον αὐτοῦ, ἐναντίον τῶν ἐθνῶν ἀπεκάλυψε τὴν δικαιοσύνην αὐτοῦ.
3
ThomsonBefore Him a fire shall march, and burn up His enemies all around.
BrentonHe has remembered his mercy to Jacob, and his truth to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
GreekἘμνήσθη τοῦ ἐλέους αὐτοῦ τῷ Ἰακὼβ, καὶ τῆς ἀληθείας αὐτοῦ τῷ οἴκῳ Ἰσραήλ· εἴδοσαν πάντα τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς τὸ σωτήριον τοῦ θεοῦ ἡμῶν.
4
ThomsonHis lightnings shot a glare through the world: the earth saw and trembled.
BrentonShout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms.
GreekἈλαλάξατε τῷ Θεῷ πᾶσα ἡ γῆ, ᾄσατε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε καὶ ψάλατε.
5
ThomsonThe mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord—at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.
BrentonSing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm.
GreekΨάλατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ, ἐν κιθάρᾳ καὶ φωνῇ ψαλμοῦ.
6
ThomsonThe heavens declared His saving goodness: and all the peoples saw His glory.
BrentonWith trumpets of metal, and the sound of a trumpet of horn make a joyful noise to the Lord before the king.
GreekἘν σάλπιγξιν ἐλαταῖς, καὶ φωνῇ σάλπιγγος κερατίνης· ἀλαλάξατε ἐνώπιον τοῦ βασιλέως Κυρίῳ.
7
ThomsonLet all the worshippers of graven images, who boast of their idols, be confounded. Worship Him all ye His angels.
BrentonLet the sea be moved, and the fulness of it; the world, and they that dwell in it.
GreekΣαλευθήτω ἡ θάλασσα καὶ τὸ πλήρωμα αὐτῆς, ἡ οἰκουμένη καὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες αὐτήν.
8
ThomsonSion heard, and was glad, and the daughters of Judea rejoiced, because of Thy judgments, O Lord.
BrentonThe rivers shall clap their hands together; the mountains shall exult.
GreekΠοταμοὶ κροτήσουσι χειρὶ ἐπιτοαυτὸ, τὰ ὄρη ἀγαλλιάσονται.
9
ThomsonFor Thou art the Lord Most High, over all the earth; Thou art far exalted above all the gods.
BrentonFor he is come to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the nations in uprightness.
GreekὍτι ἥκει κρῖναι τὴν γῆν· κρινεῖ τὴν οἰκουμένην ἐν δικαιοσύνῃ, καὶ λαοὺς ἐν εὐθύτητι.
