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.

Ein Psalm. / Singet Jahwe ein neues Lied, / Denn Wunderbares hat er vollbracht: / Seine Rechte hat ihm geholfen / Und sein heiliger Arm.

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

So hat Jahwe gezeigt, daß er rettet, / Vor den Augen der Völker hat er sein Heil enthüllt.

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.

Er hat gedacht seiner Huld und Treu gegen Israels Haus; / Alle Enden der Erde / Haben unsers Gottes Hilfe geschaut.

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.

Jauchzt Jahwe zu, alle Lande, / Freut euch, jubelt und spielt!

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

Spielt mit der Zither Jahwe zu Ehren, / Mit der Zither und lautem Gesang!

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

Mit Trompeten und Schofarklang / Jauchzet vor Jahwe, dem König!

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

Es tose das Meer mit allem, was drinnen, / Der Erdkreis mit seinen Bewohnern!

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

Die Ströme sollen frohlocken, / Jauchzen sollen die Berge alle

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.

Vor Jahwes Nähe, wenn er nun kommt, / Um die Erde zu richten. / Richten wird er die Welt gerecht / Und die Völker, wie sich's gebührt.
