Psalmi 98

1 Psalam. Pjevajte Jahvi pjesmu novu, jer učini djela čudesna. Pobjedu mu pribavi desnica njegova i sveta mišica njegova.

Sing to Yahweh a new song, because he has done wonderful things! By his power [MTY] and his great strength [DOU] he has defeated [his enemies].

2 Jahve obznani spasenje svoje, pred poganima pravednost objavi.

Yahweh has declared to people that he has defeated his enemies; he has revealed that he has punished [them], and [people in] all the world have seen that he has done it.

3 Spomenu se dobrote i vjernosti prema domu Izraelovu. Svi krajevi svijeta vidješe spasenje Boga našega.

Like he promised to us Israeli people [MTY], he has faithfully loved us and (been loyal to/not abandoned) us. [People who live] in very remote places in all the earth have seen that our God has defeated [his enemies].

4 Sva zemljo, poklikni Jahvi, raduj se, kliči i pjevaj!

All you [people] [MTY] everywhere should sing joyfully to Yahweh; praise him while you sing and shout joyfully!

5 Zapjevajte Jahvi uz citaru, uz citaru i uza zvuke harfe;

Praise Yahweh while you play the lyres/harps, playing [delightful] music.

6 uz trublje i zvuke rogova: kličite Jahvi kralju!

[Some of you should] blow trumpets and other horns, [while others] shout joyfully to Yahweh, [our] king.

7 Neka huči more i što je u njemu, krug zemaljski i stanovnici njegovi!

The oceans and all [the creatures] that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh]. Everyone on the earth should sing!

8 Rijeke nek' plješću rukama, zajedno s njima neka se brda raduju!

[It should seem as though] the rivers are clapping their hands [to praise Yahweh] and that the hills are singing together joyfully in front of Yahweh,

9 Jer Jahve dolazi, dolazi suditi zemlji. Vladat će krugom zemaljskim po pravdi i pucima po pravici.

because he will come to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth! He will judge [all] the people-groups [in the world] justly and fairly [DOU].
