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.

Psaume. Chantez à Yahweh un cantique nouveau, car il a fait des prodiges; sa droite et son bras saints lui ont donné la victoire.

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 a manifesté son salut, il a révélé sa justice aux yeux des 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.

Il s’est souvenu de sa bonté et de sa fidélité envers la maison d’Israël; toutes les extrémités de la terre ont vu le salut de notre Dieu.

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.

Poussez vers Yahweh des cris de joie, vous, habitants de toute la terre, faites éclater votre allégresse au son des instruments!

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

Célébrez Yahweh sur la harpe, sur la harpe et au son des cantiques!

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

Avec les trompettes et au son du cor, poussez des cris de joie devant le Roi Yahweh!

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

Que la mer s’agite avec tout ce qu’elle renferme, que la terre et ses habitants fassent éclater leurs transports.

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

Que les fleuves applaudissent, qu’ensemble les montagnes poussent des cris de joie,

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.

devant Yahweh — car il vient pour juger la terre; il jugera le monde avec justice, et les peuples avec équité.
