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.

A Psalm of David. Sing to the Lord a new song; for the Lord has wrought wonderful works, his right hand, and his holy arm, have wrought salvation for him.

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

The Lord has made known his salvation, he has revealed 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 mercy to Jacob, and his truth to 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!

Shout to God, all the earth; sing, and exult, and sing psalms.

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

Sing to the Lord with a harp, with a harp, and the voice of a psalm.

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

With trumpets of metal, and the sound of a trumpet of horn make a joyful noise to the Lord before the king.

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

Let the sea be moved, and the fullness of it; the world, and they that dwell in it.

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

The rivers shall clap their hands together; the mountains shall exult.

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

For he is come to judge the earth; he shall judge the world in righteousness, and the nations in uprightness.
