Psalm 85-101

English Standard Version Anglicised

85 Lord, you were ^(B)favourable to your land;
    you ^(C)restored the fortunes of Jacob.
² You ^(D)forgave the iniquity of your people;
    you ^(E)covered all their sin. Selah
³ You withdrew all your wrath;
    you ^(F)turned from your hot anger.
^4 (G)Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
    and put away your indignation towards us!
^5 (H)Will you be angry with us for ever?
    Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
⁶ Will you not ^(I)revive us again,
    that your people may ^(J)rejoice in you?
⁷ Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
    and grant us your salvation.
^8 (K)Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
    for he will ^(L)speak peace to his people, to his ^(M)saints;
    but let them not ^(N)turn back to ^(O)folly.
⁹ Surely his ^(P)salvation is near to those who fear him,
    that ^(Q)glory may dwell in our land.
^10 (R)Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
    ^(S)righteousness and peace kiss each other.
¹¹ Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
    and righteousness looks down from the sky.
¹² Yes, ^(T)the Lord will give what is good,
    and our land ^(U)will yield its increase.
^13 (V)Righteousness will go before him
    and make his footsteps a way.

86 ^(X)Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
    for I am ^(Y)poor and needy.
² Preserve my life, for I am ^(Z)godly;
    save your servant, who ^(AA)trusts in you—you are my God.
^3 (AB)Be gracious to me, O Lord,
    for to you do I cry all the day.
⁴ Gladden the soul of your servant,
    for ^(AC)to you, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.
⁵ For you, O Lord, are good and ^(AD)forgiving,
    ^(AE)abounding in steadfast love to all who call upon you.
^6 (AF)Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
    listen to my plea for grace.
⁷ In ^(AG)the day of my trouble I call upon you,
    ^(AH)for you answer me.
⁸ There is ^(AI)none like you among the gods, O Lord,
    ^(AJ)nor are there any works like yours.
^9 (AK)All the nations you have made shall come
    and worship before you, O Lord,
    and shall glorify your name.
¹⁰ For ^(AL)you are great and ^(AM)do wondrous things;
    ^(AN)you alone are God.
^11 (AO)Teach me your way, O Lord,
    that I may ^(AP)walk in your truth;
    ^(AQ)unite my heart to fear your name.
¹² I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
    and I will glorify your name for ever.
^13 (AR)For great is your steadfast love towards me;
    you have ^(AS)delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.
¹⁴ O God, insolent men have ^(AT)risen up against me;
    a band of ruthless men seeks my life,
    and they do not set you before them.
¹⁵ But you, O Lord, are a God ^(AU)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness.
^16 (AV)Turn to me and be gracious to me;
    give your strength to ^(AW)your servant,
    and save ^(AX)the son of your maidservant.
^17 (AY)Show me a sign of your ^(AZ)favour,
    that those who hate me may see and be put to shame
    because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

87 On ^(BB)the holy mount ^(BC)stands the city he founded;
²     the Lord ^(BD)loves the gates of Zion
    more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
^3 (BE)Glorious things of you are spoken,
    O ^(BF)city of God. Selah
⁴ Among those who ^(BG)know me I mention ^(BH)Rahab and Babylon;
    behold, Philistia and Tyre, with ^(BI)Cush^[a]—
    “This one was born there”, they say.
⁵ And of Zion it shall be said,
    “This one and that one were born in her”;
    for the Most High himself will ^(BJ)establish her.
⁶ The Lord records as he ^(BK)registers the peoples,
    “This one was born there.” Selah
^7 (BL)Singers and ^(BM)dancers alike say,
    “All my ^(BN)springs are in you.”

88 O Lord, ^(BR)God of my salvation;
    I ^(BS)cry out day and night before you.
² Let my prayer come before you;
    ^(BT)incline your ear to my cry!
³ For my soul is full of troubles,
    and ^(BU)my life draws near to ^(BV)Sheol.
⁴ I am counted among those who ^(BW)go down to the pit;
    I am a man who has no strength,
⁵ like one set loose among the dead,
    like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom ^(BX)you remember no more,
    for they are ^(BY)cut off from your hand.
⁶ You have put me in ^(BZ)the depths of the pit,
    in the ^(CA)regions dark and ^(CB)deep.
⁷ Your wrath ^(CC)lies heavy upon me,
    and you overwhelm me with ^(CD)all your waves. Selah
⁸ You have caused ^(CE)my companions to shun me;
    you have made me ^(CF)a horror^[c] to them.
I am ^(CG)shut in so that I cannot escape;
^{9     (CH)}my eye grows dim through sorrow.
Every day I call upon you, O Lord;
    I ^(CI)spread out my hands to you.
¹⁰ Do you work wonders for the dead?
    ^(CJ)Do the departed rise up to praise you? Selah
¹¹ Is your steadfast love declared in the grave,
    or your faithfulness in Abaddon?
¹² Are your ^(CK)wonders known in ^(CL)the darkness,
    or your righteousness in the land of ^(CM)forgetfulness?
¹³ But I, O Lord, cry ^(CN)to you;
    ^(CO)in the morning my prayer comes before you.
¹⁴ O Lord, why ^(CP)do you cast my soul away?
    Why ^(CQ)do you hide your face from me?
¹⁵ Afflicted and close to death from my youth up,
    I suffer your terrors; I am helpless.^[d]
16 Your wrath has swept over me;
    your ^(CR)dreadful assaults destroy me.
¹⁷ They ^(CS)surround me like a flood ^(CT)all day long;
    they ^(CU)close in on me together.
¹⁸ You have caused ^(CV)my beloved and my friend to shun me;
    my companions have become darkness.^[e]

89 ^(CX)I will sing of ^(CY)the steadfast love of the Lord, for ever;
    with my mouth I will make known your ^(CZ)faithfulness to all generations.
² For I said, ^(DA)“Steadfast love will be built up for ever;
    in the heavens ^(DB)you will establish your ^(DC)faithfulness.”
³ You have said, “I have made ^(DD)a covenant with my ^(DE)chosen one;
    I have ^(DF)sworn to David my servant:
⁴ ‘I will establish your ^(DG)offspring for ever,
    and build your ^(DH)throne for all generations.’” Selah
⁵ Let ^(DI)the heavens praise your ^(DJ)wonders, O Lord,
    your faithfulness in the assembly of ^(DK)the holy ones!
⁶ For ^(DL)who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
    ^(DM)Who among the heavenly beings^[g] is like the Lord,
⁷ a God greatly ^(DN)to be feared in the council of ^(DO)the holy ones,
    and awesome above all ^(DP)who are around him?
⁸ O Lord God of hosts,
    ^(DQ)who is mighty as you are, O ^(DR)Lord,
    with your faithfulness all round you?
⁹ You rule the raging of the sea;
    when its waves rise, you ^(DS)still them.
¹⁰ You ^(DT)crushed ^(DU)Rahab like a carcass;
    you ^(DV)scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
^11 (DW)The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
    ^(DX)the world and all that is in it, you have ^(DY)founded them.
^12 (DZ)The north and the south, you have created them;
    ^(EA)Tabor and ^(EB)Hermon ^(EC)joyously praise your name.
¹³ You have a mighty arm;
    strong is your hand, high your right hand.
^14 (ED)Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne;
    ^(EE)steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
¹⁵ Blessed are the people who know ^(EF)the festal shout,
    who walk, O Lord, in ^(EG)the light of your face,
¹⁶ who exult in your ^(EH)name all the day
    and in your righteousness are ^(EI)exalted.
¹⁷ For you are ^(EJ)the glory of their strength;
    by your favour our ^(EK)horn is exalted.
¹⁸ For our ^(EL)shield belongs to the Lord,
    our king to ^(EM)the Holy One of Israel.
^19 (EN)Of old you spoke in a vision to your godly one,^[h] and said:
    “I have ^(EO)granted help to one who is ^(EP)mighty;
    I have exalted one ^(EQ)chosen from the people.
^20 (ER)I have found David, my servant;
    with my holy oil I have ^(ES)anointed him,
²¹ so that my ^(ET)hand shall be established with him;
    my arm also shall strengthen him.
²² The enemy shall not outwit him;
    ^(EU)the wicked shall not humble him.
²³ I will ^(EV)crush his foes before him
    and strike down those who hate him.
²⁴ My ^(EW)faithfulness and my ^(EX)steadfast love shall be with him,
    and in my name shall his ^(EY)horn be exalted.
²⁵ I will set his hand on ^(EZ)the sea
    and his right hand on ^(FA)the rivers.
²⁶ He shall cry to me, ‘You are my ^(FB)Father,
    my God, and ^(FC)the Rock of my salvation.’
²⁷ And I will make him the ^(FD)firstborn,
    ^(FE)the highest of the kings of the earth.
²⁸ My steadfast love I will keep for him for ever,
    and my ^(FF)covenant will stand firm^[i] for him.
²⁹ I will establish his ^(FG)offspring for ever
    and his ^(FH)throne as ^(FI)the days of the heavens.
^30 (FJ)If his children forsake my law
    and do not walk according to my rules,^[j]
31 if they violate my statutes
    and do not keep my commandments,
³² then I will punish their transgression with ^(FK)the rod
    and their iniquity with stripes,
³³ but I will not remove from him my steadfast love
    or be false to my faithfulness.
³⁴ I will not violate my ^(FL)covenant
    or alter the word that went forth from my lips.
³⁵ Once for all I have sworn ^(FM)by my holiness;
    I will not ^(FN)lie to David.
³⁶ His ^(FO)offspring shall endure for ever,
    ^(FP)his ^(FQ)throne as long as ^(FR)the sun before me.
³⁷ Like ^(FS)the moon it shall be established for ever,
    ^(FT)a faithful witness in the skies.” Selah
³⁸ But now you have ^(FU)cast off and rejected;
    you are full of wrath against your ^(FV)anointed.
³⁹ You have ^(FW)renounced ^(FX)the covenant with your servant;
    you have ^(FY)defiled his ^(FZ)crown in the dust.
⁴⁰ You have ^(GA)breached all his walls;
    you have laid his strongholds in ruins.
^41 (GB)All who pass by plunder him;
    he has become ^(GC)the scorn of his neighbours.
⁴² You have exalted the right hand of his foes;
    you have made all his enemies rejoice.
⁴³ You have also turned back the edge of his sword,
    and you have not made him stand in battle.
⁴⁴ You have made his splendour to cease
    and cast his throne to the ground.
⁴⁵ You have cut short ^(GD)the days of his youth;
    you have ^(GE)covered him with shame. Selah
^46 (GF)How long, O Lord? Will you hide yourself for ever?
    How long will your wrath ^(GG)burn like fire?
^47 (GH)Remember ^(GI)how short my ^(GJ)time is!
    For what vanity you have created all the children of man!
^48 (GK)What man can live and never ^(GL)see death?
    Who can deliver his soul from the power of ^(GM)Sheol? Selah
⁴⁹ Lord, where is your ^(GN)steadfast love of old,
    which by your ^(GO)faithfulness you swore to David?
^50 (GP)Remember, O Lord, how your servants are mocked,
    and how I bear in my ^(GQ)heart the insults^[k] of all the many nations,
⁵¹ with which your enemies mock, O Lord,
    with which they mock ^(GR)the footsteps of your ^(GS)anointed.
^52 (GT)Blessed be the Lord for ever!
Amen and Amen.

90 Lord, you have been our ^(GW)dwelling place^[l]
    in all generations.
^2 (GX)Before the ^(GY)mountains were brought forth,
    or ever you had formed the earth and the world,
    ^(GZ)from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
³ You return man to dust
    and say, ^(HA)“Return, ^(HB)O children of man!”^[m]
4 For ^(HC)a thousand years in your sight
    are but as ^(HD)yesterday when it is past,
    or as ^(HE)a watch in the night.
⁵ You ^(HF)sweep them away as with a flood; they are like ^(HG)a dream,
    like ^(HH)grass that is renewed in the morning:
⁶ in ^(HI)the morning it flourishes and is renewed;
    in the evening it ^(HJ)fades and ^(HK)withers.
⁷ For we are brought to an end by your anger;
    by your wrath we are dismayed.
⁸ You have ^(HL)set our iniquities before you,
    our ^(HM)secret sins in the light of your presence.
⁹ For all our days pass away under your wrath;
    we bring our years to an end like a sigh.
¹⁰ The years of our life are seventy,
    or even by reason of strength eighty;
yet their span^[n] is but toil and trouble;
    they are soon gone, and we fly away.
¹¹ Who considers the power of your anger,
    and your wrath according to the fear of you?
^12 (HN)So teach us to number our days
    that we may get a heart of wisdom.
^13 (HO)Return, O Lord! ^(HP)How long?
    Have ^(HQ)pity on your servants!
¹⁴ Satisfy us in the ^(HR)morning with your steadfast love,
    that we may ^(HS)rejoice and be glad all our days.
¹⁵ Make us glad for as many days as you have ^(HT)afflicted us,
    and for as many years as we have seen evil.
¹⁶ Let your ^(HU)work be shown to your servants,
    and your glorious power to their children.
¹⁷ Let the ^(HV)favour^[o] of the Lord our God be upon us,
    and establish ^(HW)the work of our hands upon us;
    yes, establish the work of our hands!

91 He who dwells in ^(HX)the shelter of the Most High
    will abide in ^(HY)the shadow of the Almighty.
² I will say^[p] to the Lord, “My ^(HZ)refuge and my ^(IA)fortress,
    my God, in whom I ^(IB)trust.”
³ For he will deliver you from ^(IC)the snare of the fowler
    and from the deadly pestilence.
⁴ He will ^(ID)cover you with his pinions,
    and under his ^(IE)wings you will ^(IF)find refuge;
    his ^(IG)faithfulness is ^(IH)a shield and buckler.
^5 (II)You will not fear ^(IJ)the terror of the night,
    nor the arrow that flies by day,
⁶ nor the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
    nor the destruction that wastes at noonday.
⁷ A thousand may fall at your side,
    ten thousand at your right hand,
    but it will not come near you.
⁸ You will only look with your eyes
    and ^(IK)see the recompense of the wicked.
⁹ Because you have made the Lord your ^(IL)dwelling place—
    the Most High, who is my ^(IM)refuge^[q]—
^10 (IN)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
    ^(IO)no plague come near your tent.
^11 (IP)For he will command his ^(IQ)angels concerning you
    to ^(IR)guard you in all your ways.
¹² On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you ^(IS)strike your foot against a stone.
¹³ You will tread on ^(IT)the lion and the ^(IU)adder;
    the young lion and ^(IV)the serpent you will ^(IW)trample underfoot.
¹⁴ “Because he ^(IX)holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he ^(IY)knows my name.
¹⁵ When he ^(IZ)calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and ^(JA)honour him.
¹⁶ With ^(JB)long life I will satisfy him
    and ^(JC)show him my salvation.”

92 ^(JD)It is good to give thanks to the Lord,
    to sing praises to your name, ^(JE)O Most High;
² to declare your ^(JF)steadfast love in ^(JG)the morning,
    and your ^(JH)faithfulness by ^(JI)night,
³ to the music of ^(JJ)the lute and ^(JK)the harp,
    to the melody of ^(JL)the lyre.
⁴ For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your ^(JM)work;
    at ^(JN)the works of your hands I sing for joy.
⁵ How ^(JO)great are your works, O Lord!
    Your ^(JP)thoughts are very ^(JQ)deep!
⁶ The stupid man cannot know;
    the fool cannot understand this:
⁷ that though ^(JR)the wicked sprout like grass
    and all ^(JS)evildoers flourish,
they are doomed to destruction for ever;
⁸     but you, O Lord, are ^(JT)on high for ever.
⁹ For behold, your enemies, O Lord,
    for behold, your enemies shall perish;
    all evildoers shall be ^(JU)scattered.
¹⁰ But you have exalted my ^(JV)horn like that of ^(JW)the wild ox;
    you have ^(JX)poured over me^[r] fresh oil.
¹¹ My ^(JY)eyes have seen the downfall of my enemies;
    my ears have heard the doom of my evil assailants.
^12 (JZ)The righteous flourish like the palm tree
    and grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
¹³ They are planted in the house of the Lord;
    they flourish in ^(KA)the courts of our God.
¹⁴ They still bear fruit in old age;
    they are ever full of sap and green,
^15 (KB)to declare that the Lord is upright;
    he is my ^(KC)rock, and there is ^(KD)no unrighteousness in him.

93 ^(KE)The Lord reigns; he is ^(KF)robed in majesty;
    the Lord is ^(KG)robed; he has ^(KH)put on strength as his belt.
^(KI)Yes, the world is established; ^(KJ)it shall never be moved.
^2 (KK)Your throne is established from of old;
    ^(KL)you are from everlasting.
^3 (KM)The floods have lifted up, O Lord,
    the floods have lifted up their voice;
    the floods lift up their roaring.
⁴ Mightier than the thunders of many waters,
    mightier than the waves of the sea,
    ^(KN)the Lord ^(KO)on high is mighty!
⁵ Your ^(KP)decrees are very trustworthy;
    ^(KQ)holiness befits your house,
    O Lord, for evermore.

94 O Lord, God of ^(KR)vengeance,
    O God of vengeance, ^(KS)shine forth!
^2 (KT)Rise up, O ^(KU)judge of the earth;
    repay to the ^(KV)proud what they deserve!
³ O Lord, ^(KW)how long shall the wicked,
    how long shall ^(KX)the wicked exult?
⁴ They pour out their ^(KY)arrogant words;
    all ^(KZ)the evildoers boast.
⁵ They ^(LA)crush your people, O Lord,
    and afflict your heritage.
⁶ They kill ^(LB)the widow and the sojourner,
    and murder ^(LC)the fatherless;
^7 (LD)and they say, “The Lord does not see;
    the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
^8 (LE)Understand, O dullest of the people!
    Fools, when will you be wise?
^9 (LF)He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
¹⁰ He who ^(LG)disciplines the nations, does he not rebuke?
He who ^(LH)teaches man knowledge—
^{11     (LI)}the Lord—knows the thoughts of man,
    that they are ^(LJ)but a breath.^[s]
12 (LK)Blessed is the man whom you ^(LL)discipline, O Lord,
    and whom you teach out of your law,
¹³ to give him ^(LM)rest from ^(LN)days of trouble,
    until ^(LO)a pit is dug for the wicked.
^14 (LP)For the Lord will not forsake his ^(LQ)people;
    he will not abandon his ^(LR)heritage;
¹⁵ for ^(LS)justice will return to the righteous,
    and all the upright in heart will ^(LT)follow it.
^16 (LU)Who rises up for me against the wicked?
    Who stands up for me against evildoers?
^17 (LV)If the Lord had not been my help,
    my soul would soon have lived in the land of ^(LW)silence.
¹⁸ When I thought, ^(LX)“My foot slips”,
    your steadfast love, O Lord, ^(LY)held me up.
¹⁹ When the cares of my heart are many,
    your consolations cheer my soul.
²⁰ Can ^(LZ)wicked rulers be allied with you,
    those who frame injustice by ^(MA)statute?
²¹ They ^(MB)band together against the life of the righteous
    and condemn ^(MC)the innocent to death.^[t]
22 But the Lord has become my ^(MD)stronghold,
    and my God ^(ME)the rock of my ^(MF)refuge.
²³ He will bring back on them ^(MG)their iniquity
    and ^(MH)wipe them out for their wickedness;
    the Lord our God will wipe them out.

95 Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
    let us ^(MI)make a joyful noise to ^(MJ)the rock of our salvation!
² Let us ^(MK)come into his presence with thanksgiving;
    let us ^(ML)make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
³ For the Lord is ^(MM)a great God,
    and a great King ^(MN)above all gods.
⁴ In his hand are the depths of the earth;
    the heights of the mountains are his also.
⁵ The sea is his, for ^(MO)he made it,
    and his hands formed ^(MP)the dry land.
⁶ Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
    let us ^(MQ)kneel before the Lord, our ^(MR)Maker!
⁷ For he is our ^(MS)God,
    and we are the people of his ^(MT)pasture,
    and the sheep of his hand.
^(MU)Today, if you ^(MV)hear his voice,
^{8     (MW)}do not harden your hearts, as at ^(MX)Meribah,
    as on the day at ^(MY)Massah in the wilderness,
⁹ when your fathers put me to the ^(MZ)test
    and put me to the proof, though they had seen my ^(NA)work.
^10 (NB)For forty years I loathed that generation
    and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
    and they have not known ^(NC)my ways.”
¹¹ Therefore I ^(ND)swore in my wrath,
    “They shall not enter ^(NE)my rest.”

96 ^(NF)Oh sing to the Lord ^(NG)a new song;
    sing to the Lord, all the earth!
² Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
    ^(NH)tell of his salvation from day to day.
³ Declare his glory among the nations,
    his marvellous works among all the peoples!
⁴ For ^(NI)great is the Lord, and ^(NJ)greatly to be praised;
    he is to be feared above ^(NK)all gods.
⁵ For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
    but the Lord ^(NL)made the heavens.
⁶ Splendour and majesty are before him;
    ^(NM)strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
⁷ Ascribe to the Lord, O ^(NN)families of the peoples,
    ^(NO)ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
⁸ Ascribe to the Lord ^(NP)the glory due his name;
    bring ^(NQ)an offering, and ^(NR)come into his courts!
⁹ Worship the Lord in ^(NS)the splendour of holiness;^{[u]
    (NT)}tremble before him, all the earth!
¹⁰ Say among the nations, ^(NU)“The Lord reigns!
    Yes, the world is established; it shall never be moved;
    he will ^(NV)judge the peoples with equity.”
¹¹ Let ^(NW)the heavens be glad, and let ^(NX)the earth rejoice;
    let ^(NY)the sea roar, and all that fills it;
¹²     let ^(NZ)the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all ^(OA)the trees of the forest sing for joy
¹³     before the Lord, for he comes,
    for he comes ^(OB)to judge the earth.
He will judge the world in righteousness,
    and the peoples in his faithfulness.

97 ^(OC)The Lord reigns, ^(OD)let the earth rejoice;
    let the many ^(OE)coastlands be glad!
^2 (OF)Clouds and thick darkness are all round him;
    ^(OG)righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
^3 (OH)Fire goes before him
    and burns up his adversaries all round.
⁴ His ^(OI)lightnings light up the world;
    the earth sees and ^(OJ)trembles.
⁵ The mountains ^(OK)melt like ^(OL)wax before the Lord,
    before ^(OM)the Lord of all the earth.
^6 (ON)The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
    and all ^(OO)the peoples see his glory.
⁷ All worshippers of images are ^(OP)put to shame,
    who make their boast in ^(OQ)worthless idols;
    ^(OR)worship him, all you gods!
⁸ Zion hears and ^(OS)is glad,
    and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
    because of your judgements, O Lord.
⁹ For you, O Lord, are ^(OT)most high over all the earth;
    you are exalted far above ^(OU)all gods.
¹⁰ O you who love the Lord, ^(OV)hate evil!
    He ^(OW)preserves the lives of his ^(OX)saints;
    he ^(OY)delivers them from the hand of the wicked.
^11 (OZ)Light ^(PA)is sown^[v] for the righteous,
    and joy for the upright in heart.
^12 (PB)Rejoice in the Lord, O you righteous,
    and ^(PC)give thanks to his holy name!

98 Oh sing to the Lord ^(PD)a new song,
    for he has done ^(PE)marvellous things!
His ^(PF)right hand and his holy arm
    have worked salvation for him.
² The Lord has ^(PG)made known his salvation;
    he has ^(PH)revealed his righteousness in ^(PI)the sight of the nations.
³ He has ^(PJ)remembered his ^(PK)steadfast love and faithfulness
    to the house of Israel.
All ^(PL)the ends of the earth have seen
    ^(PM)the salvation of our God.
^4 (PN)Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    ^(PO)break forth into joyous song and sing praises!
⁵ Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the ^(PP)sound of melody!
⁶ With ^(PQ)trumpets and the sound of ^(PR)the horn
    ^(PS)make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!
^7 (PT)Let the sea roar, and ^(PU)all that fills it;
    ^(PV)the world and those who dwell in it!
⁸ Let the rivers ^(PW)clap their hands;
    let ^(PX)the hills sing for joy together
⁹ before the Lord, for he comes
    to ^(PY)judge the earth.
