XCVI. Sing to the LORD, a new made Song

1 Sing to the LORD, a new made Song;
Let Earth in one assembled Throng,
Her common Patron's Praise resound,
Who us hath with Salvation crown'd.

2 Sing to the LORD, and bless his Name,
From Day to day his Peace proclaim;
To Heathen Lands his Fame rehearse,
His Wonders to the Universe.

3 He's great, and greatly to be prais'd;
In Majesty and Glory rais'd
Above all other Deities,
He only rules who made the Skies.

4 With Majesty and Honour crown'd,
Beauty and Strength his Throne surround,
But Pageantry and Idols all
Are they, whom Gods the Heathen call.

5 Let Worship be to him restor'd,
By you who have false Gods ador'd;
Ascribe due Honour to his Name,
That Honour he alone can claim.

6 Peace Off'rings on his Altar lay,
Before his Throne your Homage pay;
To worship at his sacred Court,
Let all the trembling World resort.

7 Proclaim aloud, JEHOVAH reigns,
Whose Pow'r the Universe sustains;
Let therefore Heav'n new Joys confess,
And heav'nly Rapture Earth express.

8 He banish'd Justice shall restore,
Its loud Applause let Ocean roar;
Its mute Inhabitants rejoice,
And for his Triumph find a Voice.

9 For Joy let fertile Valleys sing,
The chearful Groves their Tribute bring;
The tuneful Choir of Birds awake,
Their sweetest Melody to make.

10 The LORD's Approach to celebrate:
Who now sets out with awful State
From Heav'n, to judge the World, he's come,
With Justice to reward and doom.
