< 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. Sing a new song to the Lord, for he has done wonders; his right hand and holy arm have won him the victory.
2 Jehovah hath made known his salvation: his righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the nations.
The Lord has made his victory known, and revealed to the eyes of the nations his righteousness.
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.
Mindful he was of his kindness to Jacob, faithful he was to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4 Shout aloud unto Jehovah, all the earth; break forth and shout for joy, and sing psalms.
Shout, all the earth, to the Lord: break into cries and music.
5 Sing psalms unto Jehovah with the harp: with the harp, and the voice of a song;
Play on the lyre to the Lord, on the lyre and with loud melody.
6 With trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King, Jehovah.
With trumpet and sound of horn, shout before the king.
7 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein;
Let the sea and its fulness roar, the world and the dwellers upon it.
8 Let the floods clap [their] hands; let the mountains sing for joy together,
Let the streams clap their hands, let the hills shout for gladness 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 Lord for he comes, he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with justice and the nations with equity.
