Setting

O sing a new song to the LORD,

Free Church of Scotland psalter · C.M.

The words

O sing a new song to the LORD, sing praises to his name; And his salvation day by day let all the earth proclaim.

His glory and his mighty deeds to every land declare: How great and awesome is the LORD! With him no gods compare.

For other gods are wood and stone; the LORD made heaven’s height. All power and majesty are his; he dwells in glorious light.

All nations, to the LORD ascribe the glory that is due; Glory and strength ascribe to God, and praise his name anew.

Enter his courts with joy, and bring an offering with you. Worship the LORD in holy fear; all earth, before him bow.

Tell every land: “The LORD is King!” Established is the earth And cannot move; the LORD will judge the peoples in his truth.

Let heavens rejoice, and earth be glad; with joy let oceans ring. The fields and all in them will shout, and forest trees will sing.

They all will sing before the LORD, who comes to judge the earth. He’ll judge the world in righteousness, the peoples in his truth.

How is this list ordered?

Curated pairings come first — a tune a curator recorded against this text, with the fitness they recorded. A tune that merely shares the meter is listed as a tune in the same meter and never as a pairing.

Nothing here is ranked by popularity or use. The page reports what a curator recorded, not a verdict of its own.
