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.” Sing to the LORD a new song; For he hath done marvellous things; His own right hand and his holy arm have gotten him the victory!

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

The LORD hath made known his salvation; His righteousness hath he manifested 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 hath remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel, And 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 unto the LORD, all the earth! Break forth into joy, and exult, and sing!

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

Sing to the LORD with the harp, With the harp, and the voice of song!

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

With clarions, and the sound of trumpets, 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 fulness thereof; The world, and they that dwell therein;

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

Let the rivers clap their hands, And the mountains rejoice 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 cometh to judge the earth! With righteousness will he judge the world, And the nations with equity.
