Psalms 98

1 A psalm. Sing the Lord a new song, for he has done wonderful things: by his powerful right hand and his strong arm he has won the victory.

O sing to Jehovah a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand, and his holy arm, has wrought salvation for him.

2 The Lord has revealed his salvation to the nations, and shown them his goodness.

Jehovah has made known his salvation. He has openly shown his righteousness in the sight of the nations.

3 He has not forgotten to show his trustworthy love and faithfulness to the descendants of Israel. Our God has made his salvation clear to the ends of the earth.

He has 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.

4 Everyone on earth, shout in triumph to the Lord; break out in joyful songs of praise!

Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth. Break forth and sing for joy, yea, sing praises.

5 Sing praises to the Lord with the harp, with the harp and melodious voices;

Sing praises to Jehovah with the harp. With the harp and the voice of melody,

6 with trumpets and the sound of the ram's horn sing in happiness before the Lord, the King.

with trumpets and sound of cornet, make a joyful noise before the King-Jehovah.

7 Let the sea and everything in it shout with praise, together with the earth and everything living in it.

Let the sea roar, and the fullness thereof, the world, and those who dwell in it.

8 Let the rivers celebrate, let the hills join in the celebration

Let the floods clap their hands. Let the hills sing for joy together

9 before the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world justly, and the nations fairly.

before Jehovah, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
