fruit
trees and all cedars!

Praise the Lord!

Make a Joyful Noise to the Lord

sing to the Lord a new song,
for
he has done marvelous things!

have
worked salvation for him.

has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

make
a joyful noise before the King, the Lord!

fills it;
the
world and those who dwell in it!
8 Let the rivers clap their hands;
let
the hills sing for joy together
9 before the Lord, for he
comes
to
judge the earth.
He will judge the world with righteousness,
and
the peoples with equity.
