Gradual (continued)
Sing to the Lord a new song,*
for he has done marvelous things.
With his right hand and his holy arm*
has he won for himself the victory.
The Lord has made known his victory;*
his righteousness has he openly shown in the sight of the
nations.
He remembers his mercy and faithfulness to the house of Israel,*
and all the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
REFRAIN
Shout with joy to the Lord, all you lands;*
lift up your voice, rejoice of song.
Sing to the Lord with the harp,*
with the harp and the voice of the song.
With trumpets and the sound of the horn*
shout with joy before the King, the Lord.
REFRAIN
Let the sea make a noise and all that is in it,*
the lands and those who dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands,*
and let the hills ring out with joy before the lord,
when he comes to judge the earth.
In righteousness shall he judge the world*
and the peoples with equity.
