Psalms 98

1 A Psalm. O make a new song to the Lord, because he has done works of wonder; with his right hand, and with his holy arm, he has overcome.

A psalm. Oh, sing to Yahweh a new song, for he has done marvelous things; his right hand and his holy arm have given him victory.

2 The Lord has given to all the knowledge of his salvation; he has made clear his righteousness in the eyes of the nations.

Yahweh has made known his salvation; he has openly showed his justice to all the nations.

3 He has kept in mind his mercy and his unchanging faith to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He calls to mind his covenant loyalty and faithfulness for the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth will see the victory of our God.

4 Let all the earth send out a glad cry to the Lord; sounding with a loud voice, and praising him with songs of joy.

Shout for joy to Yahweh, all the earth; burst into song, sing for joy, and sing praises.

5 Make melody to the Lord with instruments of music; with a corded instrument and the voice of song.

Sing praises to Yahweh with the harp, with the harp and melodious song.

6 With wind instruments and the sound of the horn, make a glad cry before the Lord, the King.

With trumpets and the sound of the horn, make a joyful noise before the King, Yahweh.

7 Let the sea be thundering, with all its waters; the world, and all who are living in it;

Let the sea shout and everything in it, the world and those who live in it!

8 Let the streams make sounds of joy with their hands; let the mountains be glad together,

Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the mountains shout for joy.

9 Before the Lord, for he has come as judge of the earth; judging the world in righteousness, and giving true decisions for the peoples.

Yahweh is coming to judge the earth; he will judge the world with righteousness and the nations with fairness.
