5Sing praises unto Jehovah with the harp; With the harp and the voice of melody.
6With trumpets and sound of cornet Make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.
7Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;

9Before Jehovah; For he cometh to judge the earth: He will judge the world with righteousness, And the peoples with equity.
