Psalms 98

1 A Psalm. Sing ye unto Jehovah a new song: for he hath done wondrous things; his right hand and his holy arm hath wrought salvation for him.

A Psalm of David himself. Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has performed wonders. His right hand has accomplished salvation for him, with his holy arm.

2 Jehovah hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.

The Lord has made known his salvation. He has revealed his justice in the sight of the nations.

3 He hath remembered his loving-kindness and his faithfulness toward the house of Israel: all the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

He has remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.

4 Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth; break forth and shout for joy, and sing psalms.

Sing joyfully to God, all the earth. Sing and exult, and sing psalms.

5 Sing psalms unto Jehovah with the harp: with the harp, and the voice of a song;

Sing psalms to the Lord with stringed instruments, with strings and the voice of a psalmist,

6 With trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.

with subtle wind instruments and the voice of woodwinds. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king.

7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;

Let the sea be moved and all its fullness, the whole world and all who dwell in it.

8 Let the floods clap [their] hands; let the mountains sing for joy together,

The rivers will clap their hands, the mountains will exult together,

9 Before Jehovah, for he cometh to judge the earth: he will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.

before the presence of the Lord. For he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the whole world with justice, and the peoples with fairness.
