Text & Translation

Zpívejte Hospodinu píseň novou
Czech source: The Bible of Králice (16th century)

Zpívejte Hospodinu píseň novou,
Nebot' jest divné věci učinil;
Zvuk vydejte, prozpěvujte
A žalmy zpívejte.
Zvuč, moře, i to, což v něm jest;
Okršlek světa, i ti, což na něm bydlí.
Řeky rukama plesejte,
Spolu s nimi i hory prozpěvujte.
Plesej, pole, a vše, což na něm;
Plesej, země, zvuč i moře,
I což v něm jest.

O sing unto the Lord a new song
English translation © The King James Bible

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together. Let the field be joyful, and all that is therein: then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice. Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad; let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof.

Psalm 98:1,4/5,7,8 and 96:12/11
