Psalms 98

1 A psalm for David himself. Sing ye to the Lord anew canticle: because he hath done wonderful things. His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.

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.

2 The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

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

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

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.

4 Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.

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

5 Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm:

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

6 With long trumpets, and sound of comet. Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king:

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

7 Let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.

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

8 The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together

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

9 At the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth. He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.

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