Original text and translations

English text

Sing un-to the Lord a new song,
ye that go down to the Sea;
the Isles, and the in-hab-i-tants there-of,
ye that go down, go down to the Sea,
the Isles and the in-hab-i-tants there-of.
Let them give glo-ry un-to the Lord,
and de-clare his praise,
The Lord shall go forth in his might,
The Lord shall go forth in his might,
He shall pre-vail a-gainst his en-e-mies,
he shall pre-vail a-gainst his en-e-mies:
The Lord who ma-keth a way in the Sea,
and a path in the migh-ty wa-ters
He shall, he shall pre-vail a-gainst his en-e-mies;
He sit-teth up-on the Cir-cle of the Earth;
He stretch-eth out the Heav'ns as a Cur-tain;
He speak-eth the word,
and the winds and Seas o-bey his voice;
voice.
The Lord shall strength-en us with his Arm,
and up-hold us, up-hold us with his right hand;
the Lord shall strength-en us,
The Lord our God is with us;
He is our Re-deem-er,
ev'n the ho-ly one of Is-ra-el.
