*
Sing to the LORD a new song ,
his praise from the end of the earth !
Let the sea roar and all that fills it ,
the coastlands and their inhabitants .
*
Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice ,
the villages that Kedar inhabits ;
let the inhabitants of Sela sing for joy ,
let them shout from the top of the mountains .
*
Let them give glory to the LORD ,
and declare his praise in the coastlands .
*
The LORD goes forth like a mighty man ,
like a man of war he stirs up his fury ;
he cries out ,
he shouts aloud ,
he shows himself mighty against his foes .
*
For a long time I have held my peace ,
I have kept still and restrained myself ;
now I will cry out like a woman in travail ,
I will gasp and pant .
*
I will lay waste mountains and hills ,
and dry up all their herbage ;
I will turn the rivers into islands ,
and dry up the pools .
*
And I will lead the blind in a way that they know not ,
in paths that they have not known I will guide them .
I will turn the darkness before them into light ,
the rough places into level ground .
These are the things I will do ,
and I will not forsake them .
*
They shall be turned back and utterly put to shame ,
who trust in graven images ,
who say to molten images , "
You are our gods ."
