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 unto the LORD a new song; for he has done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, has got him the victory.

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

The LORD has made known his salvation: his righteousness has he openly showed in the sight of the heathen.

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 and his truth 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 unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.

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

Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the 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 and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, 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 roar, and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.

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

Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together

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

Before the LORD; for he comes to judge the earth: with righteousness shall he judge the world, and the people with equity.
