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.
