Why are the nations in an uproar [in turmoil against God],
And why do the people devise a vain and hopeless plot?

Let the assembly of the nations be gathered around You,
And return on high over them.

I will give You thanks in the great congregation;
I will praise You among a mighty people.

I have proclaimed good news of righteousness [and the joy that comes from obedience to You] in the great assembly;
Behold, I will not restrain my lips [from proclaiming Your righteousness],
As You know, O Lord.

I have not concealed Your righteousness within my heart;
I have proclaimed Your faithfulness and Your salvation.
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth from the great assembly.

God stands in the divine assembly;
He judges among the gods (divine beings).

The heavens (angels) praise Your wonders, O Lord,
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
And praise Him in the congregation of His godly ones (believers).
