Sing a new song to Adonai,
renew yourselves, all people on earth.
Sing to Adonai, praise God for daily help.
Proclaim God’s glory and wonders to all the
world.
Revere Adonai beyond all that is
worshipped.
All of the gods are nothingness,
but Adonai created the heavens.
Majesty and might accompany Adonai,
splendor and strength adorn God’s
sanctuary.
Acknowledge Adonai, all families of the
nations,
acknowledge God’s majestic power.
Acknowledge God’s glory and bring tribute.
