A Psalm. Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him.

Let the rivers clap their hands; let the hills sing for joy together

before the Lord , for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy!

A Psalm for giving thanks. Make a joyful noise to the Lord , all the earth!

For the Lord is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.

For my days pass away like smoke, and my bones burn like a furnace.

All the day my enemies taunt me; those who deride me use my name for a curse.

For I eat ashes like bread and mingle tears with my drink,

As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field;

You cause the grass to grow for the livestock and plants for man to cultivate, that he may bring forth food from the earth
