His right hand and his holy arm have won for himself a victory.
2. YHWH has made known his victory;
He has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
3. He has remembered his loyalty and his faithfulness for the sake of the household of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4. All the earth, shout to YHWH!
Burst into song, cry aloud, and sing!
5. Sing to YHWH with the lute, with the lute and the sound of music!
6. With trumpets and the sound of the horn trumpet, shout before YHWH, the king !
7. Let the sea and its fulness roar!
And [let] the land and those who dwell in it [roar]!
8. Let the rivers clap their hands!
Let the mountains cry aloud together
9. before YHWH!
For he is coming to judge the earth.
He will rule the land with righteousness;
and [he will rule] the peoples with equity.
